Publisher's Synopsis
Based on the updated proceedings of the Soviet American International Pavlovian Conference held in Moscow, this volume deals with modern trends in the theory and experimental research on emotions and emotional behaviour. The book provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary view of the mechanisms underlying emotions. Most of the articles present psychophysiological investigations of human emotions, animal studies and modelling of emotional behaviour. Special emphasis is placed on the role of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides as putative mediators and modulators in the central integrative mechanisms of functional systems of emotional behaviour.;This is intended as a guide for students and researchers studying the problems of human or animal emotional behaviour and physiologists, psychologists and medical practitioners who specialize in psychosomatic disorders.
