A fully fledged neuroscience of personality is beginning to emerge, shaped and guided in large measure by the seminal work of Jeffrey A. Gray over a period of 40 years. In this Festschrift, I trace the theoretical development of Gray's approach--now known as Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (RST)--out of the Eysenckian tradition to its most recent articulation. Experimental attempts to test RST are reviewed and the theoretical problems raised by this literature discussed. Also presented are data relating to a recent clarification of RST, viz. the joint subsystems hypothesis, which postulates a fundamental interdependence of appetitive and aversive systems in the typical human laboratory. The value of Gray's general approach to building behavioural theories on the bases of both the conceptual nervous system and the real nervous system is validated in personality, which has long been thought a philosophical mystery rather than a standard problem to be tackled by scientific method.
一门成熟的人格神经科学正开始兴起，在很大程度上它是由杰弗里·A·格雷40年来的开创性工作塑造和引导的。在这本纪念文集里，我追溯了格雷的方法——现在被称为强化敏感性理论（RST）——从艾森克传统中发展而来并最终形成其最新阐述的理论发展过程。回顾了检验RST的实验尝试，并讨论了该文献提出的理论问题。还展示了与RST最近一次澄清相关的数据，即联合子系统假说，该假说假定在典型的人类实验室中，奖赏系统和厌恶系统存在基本的相互依存关系。格雷基于概念神经系统和真实神经系统构建行为理论的一般方法的价值，在长期以来被认为是一个哲学谜团而非科学方法可解决的标准问题的人格领域得到了验证。
