This Research Topic is in collaboration with Viviana Kasam and
BrainCircleItalia.
The Emotions Itinerant BrainForum is inviting prestigious scientists to analyse all aspects of emotions at 9 BrainForums that have been taking place around the world covering different topics. These esteemed scientists have been teasing apart the various faculties, pre-cursors and relationships of emotions to our biological, cognitive and perceived world. This is a timely project as the study of emotions is not just important, but necessary due to the significance of emotions in wellbeing and cultural change which requires emotional intelligence from everyone, to better understand each other as humans.
Emotions are at the core of us as a people and individuals driving our thoughts and behaviour. Understanding the neuroscience of emotions and thus thoughts and behaviour, will allow us to better comprehend the neural underpinnings of what makes us human. To this end, the goal is to build on from the intellectuals of the Emotions Itinerant BrainForum with new research to further unravel the complexities and mysteries of emotions.
In this special edition Research Topic, we call on all scientists investigating biochemical, genetic, epigenetic, cognitive and neurological aspects of emotions to contribute to this Research Topic and further examine the integrated nature of emotions.
We welcome submissions on the following themes from the Emotions Itinerant BrainForum:
- Multiscale measurements and novel components of emotions
- Neuromodulation of emotions
- Neuroscience of emotions
- Cognitive models of emotions
- Emotions, empathy and social cognition
- Mechanisms of emotional-control and economic choices
- Anatomo-functional correlates of memories and emotions
Recordings of these exciting talks can be found on the
Emotions BrainForum website.
