1. Our earliest scientists who focused on the brain attempted to explain emotion by
assessing the importance of the body's responses in the process
tried to establish which one specific brain structure was involved
realized that emotional experience was so complex that existing research methods could not answer important questions
were able to use MRI results to locate specific regions of the brain involved in emotion
