Note Text: 1956 Neocortex generates appraisals, not emotions

even though there is very little evidence that the neocortex elaborates affective feelings, this tissue surely elaborates the appraisal processes that can trigger emotional responses.

Note Text: 1910 Neocortex influenced by emotions

The neocortex can come to be influenced by emotions and influences them through various appraisal processes, but it is not a fundamental neural substrate for the generation of affective experience.
