title: [Neuroimaging and neuroscience of emotional processes].
abstract: In neurosciences, there is increasing interest in studying affective, emotional and social processes in humans and animals. What are the conceptual framework identified for these studies and the technical approaches undertaken? What information has already emerged from these studies? Which results have already been obtained and what are the researchers' goals? Can these neuroimaging analyses provide novel insights to improve our understanding of psychiatric disorders? These are some of the questions addressed in this concise overview of our knowledge in this domain.
