The article by Lindquist et al. reviews the neuroimaging literature on human emotion to compare two approaches: the locationist approach, which posits that discrete emotion categories correspond to specific brain regions, and the psychological constructionist approach, which suggests that emotions are constructed from more general brain networks. The authors find little evidence supporting the locationist hypothesis, suggesting that emotions are better understood through a psychological constructionist framework. They propose that a set of interacting brain regions involved in basic psychological operations, both emotional and non-emotional, are active during emotion experience and perception across various discrete emotion categories. The article also discusses the neural reference space for discrete emotion, the functional networks involved, and the methods used to test hypotheses of brain-emotion correspondence. Overall, the findings support the idea that emotions are not localized to specific brain regions but are constructed through the interaction of multiple brain regions.The article by Lindquist et al. reviews the neuroimaging literature on human emotion to compare two approaches: the locationist approach, which posits that discrete emotion categories correspond to specific brain regions, and the psychological constructionist approach, which suggests that emotions are constructed from more general brain networks.
