Descripción: Our conception of the physiological bases underlying motivated behavior have been profoundly altered since the time of William James’ discussion of “no special brain centers for emotion” and his claim that the analysis was simpler than physiologists imagined (1890). The altered perspective has been due in part to the development of behavioral methods of analysis together with an enormous increase in knowledge of subcortical and lower brain-stem structures and of the complexity of their connections with the cortex. Bard (1934) and Cannon (1927) made a first step toward the anatomical analysis with a theory that was almost as simple as James’s: namely, that emotion is localised in the hypothalamus.
