The Emotional Brain

Methodology and Conclusions

In «The Emotional Brain», Joseph LeDoux employs an interdisciplinary approach, combining neurobiology, psychology, and cognitive sciences to study emotions. He uses neuroimaging techniques, animal experiments, and clinical observations to investigate brain function. LeDoux examines in detail the role of the amygdala in forming emotional responses, particularly fear. The book's conclusions emphasize that emotions result from complex interactions between different brain areas, and understanding these processes can aid in treating emotional disorders.
