Abstract

The function of emotion and its underlying neural mechanisms are often left underspecified. I extend the GANE (glutamate amplifies noradrenergic effects) model by examining its success in accounting for findings in emotion regulation. I also identify points of alignment with construction models of emotion and with the hypothesis that emotion states function to push neural activity toward rapid and efficient action.
