Modern neuroscience is on the verge of exploring new frontiers within varioussubdisciplines.The question of how our brain with over hundred billion neurons puts together cognition,emotion and behavior has always been captivating. As such, the study of neural processesthrough which we not only maintain our survival and homeostasis, but also stayproductive and functional, has attracted cognitive neuroscientists for decades. With theadvent of neurotechnologies and ever-growing research facilities, modern neurosciencehas seen a tremendous progress in dealing with such questions. This letter argues the mostreferenced theories with respect to key concepts in affective neuroscience, i.e. fear, loveand related emotions or traits. We hope the present letter is found thought-provoking withregards to further theoretical models and empirical research in affective neuroscience andneuropsychology.
