THE TRIUNE BRAIN, EMOTION &
MOTION
Basic psychological criteria is that
emotional systems should be capable
of elaborating subjective feeling
states that are affectively valenced.
JAAK PANKSEPP
The SEEKING system in what Jaak Panksepp renames the
"appetitive motivational system", encourages animals to search
for resources such as food, water, warmth etc. Another
designator that he used to highlight its function was
curiosity/interest/foraging/anticipation/craving/expectancy
system.
The RAGE system energises the body to
angrily defend its territory and resources.
The FEAR system is the brain system that
includes a major form of trepidation that
commonly leads to freezing or flight.
The PANIC system is the one that generates feelings
of loneliness and separation distress. This is not to be
confused with the term panic meaning intense states
of fear. The existing evidence on the disorder known
as panic attacks involves this circuitry.
There are additional systems for:
Sexual feelings (LUST system)
Maternal feelings (CARE system)
Playful feelings (rough and tumble PLAY system)
Dreaming Sleep (REM system)
Deep Sleep (NREM system)
Wakefullness (WAKING system)
Clarity (CONFUSION system)
Addictions (ADDICTION & WITHDRAWAL systems)
Stress (LONG & SHORT TERM STESS Systems)
Awareness (CONSCIOUSNESS Systems)
Nutriton (FEEDING & THIRST Systems)
A TRIUNE MODEL OF MOTION:
1. NEOMAMMILIAN (Conscious motion)
2. LIMBIC (Habits)
3. REPTILIAN (Reflex)
What is a Reflex?
A Reflex motion occurs in
response to a sensory stimulus

Reflexes can be categorised by the
type of sensory input:
•Vestibular
•Proprioceptive
•Somatosensory
•Auditory
•Visual
•Olfactory & Gustatory
