[[Emotion]]s are generally defined as two-step multicomponent processes involving [[Human intelligence (intelligence gathering)|elicitation]], followed by psychological feelings, appraisal, expression, autonomic responses, and action tendencies.<ref>{{cite book |last=Sander |first=David |editor1-last=Armony |editor1-first=J. |editor2-first=Patrik |editor2-last=Vuilleumier |title=The Cambridge handbook of human affective neuroscience |date=2013 |publisher=Cambridge Univ.

The [[amygdala]], [[orbitofrontal cortex]], mid and anterior [[insular cortex]] and lateral [[prefrontal cortex]], appeared to be involved in generating the emotions, while weaker evidence was found for the [[ventral tegmental area]], [[ventral pallidum]] and [[nucleus accumbens]] in [[incentive salience]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Lindquist |first1=KA. |last2=Wager |first2=TD. |last3=Kober |first3=H |last4=Bliss-Moreau |first4=E |last5=Barrett |first5=LF |title=The brain basis of emotion: A meta-analytic review |journal=Behavioral and Brain Sciences |date=May 23, 2012 |volume=35 |issue=3 |pages=121–143 |doi=10.1017/S0140525X11000446|pmid=22617651 |pmc=4329228 }}</ref> Others, however, have found evidence of activation of specific regions, such as the [[basal ganglia]] in happiness, the [[corpus callosum|subcallosal]] [[cingulate cortex]] in sadness, and [[amygdala]] in fear.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Phan |first1=KL |last2=Wager |first2=Tor |last3=Taylor |first3=SF. |last4=Liberzon |first4=l |title=Functional Neuroanatomy of Emotion: A Meta-Analysis of Emotion Activation Studies in PET and fMRI |journal=NeuroImage |date=June 1, 2002 |volume=16 |issue=2 |pages=331–348 |doi=10.1006/nimg.2002.1087 |pmid=12030820|s2cid=7150871 }}</ref>
