  • About Emotions There Are 8 Primary Emotions. You Are Born with These
    About Emotions There are 8 primary emotions. You are born with these emotions wired into your brain. That wiring causes your body to react in certain ways and for you to have certain urges when the emotion arises. Here is a list of primary emotions: Eight Primary Emotions Anger: fury, outrage, wrath, irritability, hostility, resentment and violence. Sadness: grief, sorrow, gloom, melancholy, despair, loneliness, and depression. Fear: anxiety, apprehension, nervousness, dread, fright, and panic. Joy: enjoyment, happiness, relief, bliss, delight, pride, thrill, and ecstasy. Interest: acceptance, friendliness, trust, kindness, affection, love, and devotion. Surprise: shock, astonishment, amazement, astound, and wonder. Disgust: contempt, disdain, scorn, aversion, distaste, and revulsion. Shame: guilt, embarrassment, chagrin, remorse, regret, and contrition. All other emotions are made up by combining these basic 8 emotions. Sometimes we have secondary emotions, an emotional reaction to an emotion. We learn these. Some examples of these are: o Feeling shame when you get angry. o Feeling angry when you have a shame response (e.g., hurt feelings). o Feeling fear when you get angry (maybe you’ve been punished for anger). There are many more. These are NOT wired into our bodies and brains, but are learned from our families, our culture, and others. When you have a secondary emotion, the key is to figure out what the primary emotion, the feeling at the root of your reaction is, so that you can take an action that is most helpful. .

  • The Neuroscience of Animal Welfare: Theory 80-20

Coria-Avila, DVM, PhD1*, Deissy Herrera-Covarrubias, BSc, MSc2 1Centro de Investigaciones Cerebrales, Universidad Veracruzana, Xalapa, Ver., México 2Doctorado en Neuroetología, Universidad Veracruzana, Xalapa, Ver., México. Recibido: 28 de agosto de 2012 Aceptado: 16 de octubre de 2012 Puedes encontrar este artículo en: http://www.uv.mx/eneurobiologia/vols/2012/6/6.html Abstract Animal welfare is commonly regarded as the physical and psychological well-being of animals, fulfilled if animals are free: 1) from hunger, thirst and malnutrition, 2) from discomfort, 3) from pain, 4) to express normal behavior, and 5) from fear and distress. This paper is meant to provoke the reader to re-think the concept of welfare. Evidence indicates that animal welfare is not a constant state, but rather it must be fulfilled several times a day. A theory is proposed arguing that well-being occurs when the proportion of desiring and obtaining something occurs in a 80-20% proportion, respectively. The neurobiological bases of motivated behaviors are discussed to support a new view on animal welfare. Key words: Dopamine, Opioids, Environmental enrichment, Well-being, Desire, Reward. Resumen Comúnmente se considera al bienestar animal cuando los animales están bien física y psicológicamente. Esto se logra cuando están libres: 1) de hambre, sed y malnutrición, 2) de incomodidad, 3) de dolor, 4) para expresar conducta normal, 5) de miedo y estrés. Este artículo tiene la intención de provocar al lector para reconsiderar el concepto de bienestar animal.

  • Mood Changes in Multiple Sclerosis
    MOOD CHANGES IN MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS Acknowledgments The National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada wish to acknowledge the support of the physicians, researchers, therapists, nursing staff and support staff from the following institutions: • MS Center at Holy Name Medical Center, Teaneck, N.J. • Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto State • University of Washington, Seattle We’d also like to thank the following individuals for so graciously giving their time and sharing their stories with us: • Ann Marie Johnson • Maria Reyes-Velarde • David Rosen Author Laurie Budgar was the editor of Momentum, the magazine of the National MS Society, from 2012–2017. She authored the original Society book, “Mood and Cognition in MS: What You Can Do,” from which this publication is excerpted and updated. Budgar specializes in health-related writing and editing, and is also a certified speech-language pathologist. Preface Though clinicians noted mood changes associated with multiple sclerosis as early as the 19th century, symptoms associated with mood disorder have only recently begun to receive the same degree of attention from clinicians as physical symptoms. Mood disorder is a complex issue and despite greater awareness, continues to be under-diagnosed and under-treated. This “invisible symptom” can be a direct result of the disease process, and can change over time. We now understand that mood and physical functioning are intricately entwined, and treating one area often brings profound improvement to other aspects of an individual’s life—and to the lives of their families. We also now recognize that while changes in mood may not be readily apparent to outside observers, their impact on a person’s life can be profound, affecting physical, social, emotional, occupational and spiritual functioning.
