The hierarchical emotion model proposed by Panksepp (1998) predicts that affective processing will rely on three functionally and neuroanatomically distinct levels, engaging subcortical networks (primary level), the limbic system (secondary level), and the neocortex (tertiary level). In the present fMRI study, we manipulated happiness and positivity, which are assumed to rely on secondary- and tertiary-level processes, respectively, to test these assumptions in a word recognition task. In accordance with the model predictions, evidence for a double dissociation was found in the brain activation patterns: Secondary-level processes engaged parts of the limbic system-specifically, the right hemispheric amygdala. Tertiary-level processes, in contrast, relied predominantly on frontal neocortical structures such as the left inferior frontal and medial frontal gyri. These results are interpreted as support for Panksepp's (1998) model and as an indicator of a semantic foundation of affective dimensions.
潘克塞普（1998年）提出的层次情感模型预测，情感加工将依赖于三个在功能和神经解剖学上截然不同的层次，涉及皮层下网络（初级层次）、边缘系统（次级层次）和新皮层（三级层次）。在当前的功能磁共振成像研究中，我们分别操纵了被认为依赖于次级和三级层次加工的幸福感和积极性，以在单词识别任务中检验这些假设。根据模型预测，在大脑激活模式中发现了双重分离的证据：次级层次加工涉及边缘系统的部分区域——具体而言，是右半球杏仁核。相比之下，三级层次加工主要依赖于额叶新皮层结构，如左侧额下回和额中回。这些结果被解释为对潘克塞普（1998年）模型的支持，并作为情感维度语义基础的一个指标。
