regulates a distinct pattern for animal to seek out and interact with attractive enviornmental opporunities
flight-or-fight system
that readies animals to fee from agressive events but to defend agressively to other events
behavioural inhibition system

cognitive aspects
further argue that emotion and emotion activation are both deeply immersed with cognitive activity
