Considering complete, complex behaviors, it should be obvious that the emotional systems we discussed in lectures would involve many of what we have defined as “cortical modules”. Remember that the limbic regions that we discussed in the first “Emotional systems I” lecture are examples of cortical components of individual cortical modules.
