Understanding Emotions from the Perspective of Neuroscience
The experience of emotions is mediated by the peripheral nervous system, and neuroscience research has been successful in identifying the circuits involved in the regulation of emotional behaviors. The development of new tools that stimulate the vagus nerve may allow researchers to manipulate specific emotions and states.

This podcast discusses the somatic marker hypothesis and how it explains the relationship between bodily sensations and emotions.
1:43:43 - 1:47:25 (03:41)
Summary
This podcast discusses the somatic marker hypothesis and how it explains the relationship between bodily sensations and emotions. The peripheral and central nervous systems work together to control bodily functions and reactions, which are then associated with emotions through the somatic markers.
