Title, “Neural Circuit Mechanisms of Valence Processing”
Abstract:
How do our brains determine whether something is good or bad? How is this computational goal implemented in biological systems? Given the critical importance of valence processing for survival, the brain has evolved multiple strategies to solve this problem at different levels. The psychological concept of “emotional valence” is now beginning to find grounding in neuroscience. This review aims to bridge the gap between psychology and neuroscience on the topic of emotional valence processing. Here, I highlight a subset of studies that serve to illustrate each motif across multiple systems. The motifs I identify as being important in valence processing include: 1) Labeled lines, 2) Divergent Paths, 3) Opposing Components, and 4) Neuromodulatory Gain. Importantly, the functionality of neural substrates in valence processing is dynamic, context-dependent, and changing across short and long time scales due to synaptic plasticity, competing mechanisms, and homeostatic need.
