“…Three reference points were suggested to specify the network, responsible for 1 of the behaviour characteristics selected by Pankseep: (1) similar neuronal circuits maintain coherent functions; (2) artificial stimulation of the particular network (with a pharmacological, electrophysiological, and opto-/chemo-genetic means) generates predicted responses; and (3) changes in the carriers of the network activity (neurotransmitters and other substances with messenger activity) predict the behavioural changes (Panksepp, 1998). A lot of research aims to decipher the circuitries that predominantly control (1) arousal and sleep (Herrera et al., 2016, Kim et al., 2012, Landgraf et al., 2016), (2) fear, (3) anxiety, (4) aversive memories (Bravo-Rivera et al., 2014, Kim et al., 2013, McCullough et al., 2016, Tovote et al., 2015), (5) reward (Kelley, 2004, Kelley and Berridge, 2002, Smith et al., 2011), (6) attention and motivation (Berthet et al., 2016, Carli and Invernizzi, 2014, Kim, 2013), (7) goal-oriented behaviour and habits (Burguière et al., 2015, Chersi et al., 2013, Frank, 2011, Gremel and Costa, 2013, Medendorp et al., 2011) and (8) social functions (Konopka and Roberts, 2016, Kragel et al., 2015, Sladky et al., 2015, Zikopoulos and Barbas, 2013). …”
