The basis of emotions and what emotions are remains an issue of debate within the field of affective neuroscience. [2] The term "affective neuroscience" was coined by neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp, at a time when cognitive neuroscience focused on parts of psychology that did not include emotion, such as attention or memory.

The concept has been rejected by many affective neuroscientists on the grounds that nonhuman animals displaying rage behaviors do indeed experience rage. This is the view of Jaak Panksepp, for example, [5] [6] who was among the first to describe the neural generators of rage. [6] [7]
