BEGIN by outlining the problem with defining emotion. The essay should note the DISTINCTION between emotional recognition and emotional experience, and the importance of making this distinction to UNDERSTANDING the neuropsychology of emotion, drawing on non¬invasive studies of lateralization, such as visual field studies. The essay should evaluate the right¬for¬emotion hypothesis.

Using DATA from animal lesioning studies, classical conditioning studies (e.g. Le Doux et all’s studies), brain injury studies (the amygdala and fear recognition, and the role of the orbit frontal cortex), brain disease studies (Huntington's disease) in humans, and neuroimaging and EEG studies, the essay should evaluate whether different neural systems are implicated in expression and recognition.
