Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Joseph LeDoux, a professor at the Center for Neural Science at New York University, has written the most comprehensive examination to date of how systems in the brain work in response to emotions, particularly fear. Among his fascinating findings is the work of amygdala structure within the brain. The amygdala mediates fear and other responses and actually processes information more quickly than other parts of the brain, allowing a rapid response that can save our lives before other parts of the brain have had a chance to react. He also offers findings and theories on how the brain handles--and in many cases, buries--extremely traumatic experiences. In all, a compelling read about the mysteries of emotions and the workings of the brain.

From Booklist
Researcher LeDoux offers this readable explanation of his work on the neurological aspect of human emotion. He places his specific work on the fear reflex within the history of emotion research, which began with psychologist William James in the late 1800s. Later, LeDoux explains, cognitive science took over as it searched the brain's anatomy for an emotion-producing region, which it claimed to find in the "limbic" system. "Unfortunately," LeDoux writes, "the idea that the limbic system constitutes the emotional brain is, for a variety of reasons, not acceptable." He then explains that, as regards fear at least, emotion is an automatic, evolutionarily shaped response to a stimulus. The awareness of feeling afraid, LeDoux argues, is really the culmination of a complex of chemical and hormonal feedback loops interacting with long-and short-term memory. Aided by numerous schematic diagrams, readers get plenty to ponder in LeDoux's report from the cerebral frontier; they might wonder if such emotions as love fit into the flood of neurotransmitters. For active science libraries. Gilbert Taylor

This book successfully puts the cliched reason-vs.-instinct debate into perspective. Though lucidly written, this book does require some patience from the uninitiated reader. But in the end, it rewards the reader with clarity.

This is one of the best science popularizations I have ever read. Science writers frequently have trouble finding the right voice in addressing the general reader, but in this case I found the tone perfect: lucidly written, logical, cogently argued, complete, with good narrative flow; not patronizing, not trying to grab with cheap journalistic metaphores or other strained writing designed to win over the timid. Anyone who has ever wondered about emotions-- what they are, where they come from, why we have them, what their role is in "thought", will be well rewarded for reading this book. I also found it more up to date and more accessible than the other famous book on this subject, Descartes' Error.
Format:Taschenbuch
Ledoux outlines contemporary research related to emotionality from a neuroscientific perspective, yet retains a sense of humanity by exploring the psychological implications of current findings. Evolutionary biology plays a strong role in The Emotional Brain, such that emotional drives, such as fear, are inherited from our prehistoric ancestors, that conscious emotional experience can be reinterpreted as higher-order forms of survival instinct. Exploring anatomical areas in the brain related to emotional experience, such as the amygdala, and how projections from these areas to cortical regions influences behavior, suggest a physiological explanation for temperamental style. Even if you are not studying psychology or neurology, you will find that the contents of this book apply to everyday life and how we interpret emotional experience in general. Thus, I commend this book's scope and its ability to unlock imaginative flights, which will ultimately inspire me to design new research methods to approach unsolved problems.

A college student from Southern California
This book is filled with information. I recommended it to one of my college professors who teaches psychology courses. It is now a recommended reading for his classes.

Laypersons will like it; Psychologists will NEED it...
For the layperson, LeDoux's book is an excellent account of the scientific search for understanding what emotions are and what they do. Lesen Sie weiter...
