Emotion has roles in motivating behavior and in learning, in fact, emotion and cognition can't be easily separated. How emotion affects cognition.
Basic, inherited values are actualized by basic emotional systems. These are fundamental to life, as explained in prior sections. Within this section, "emotion" is used in a manner more like the way we are accustomed to think about 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.

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.
