Question: What exactly do emotions look like in the brain? Does anyone know?

Rebecca Dewey answered on 16 Jun 2015:

In the brain, emotions are usually processed in a group of brain areas called the salience network – the anterior insula and anterior cingulate cortex. These are small areas near the forehead that have been shown using brain imaging to be working harder when a person is processing emotions than when they are not. But as far as “what do emotions look like?” it is easier to see this in the body – they look like an increase in heart rate, an increase in breathing rate and blood pressure, increased sweat production, etc.
