title: Perception, cognition and action: the mediating role of affective states.
abstract: When facing and evaluating the present state of the world, the brain generates predictions and expectancies together with some specific emotional state which imposes on any given situation - or rather on the individual relationship to that situation - its essential meaning that basically orients the choice of an appropriate behavioural strategy. This general notion is exemplified by concrete data concerning brain mechanisms which underlie aggressive behaviour.
