當代[[神经心理学|神經心理學]]主要著重[[大脑皮质|大腦皮質]]與情緒的關係。

'''Hemispheric-asymmetry hypotheses'''

推測是因為右腦是專門處理情緒<ref>{{Cite journal|title=The right-hemisphere and valence hypotheses: could they both be right (and sometimes left)?|url=https://academic.oup.com/scan/article/2/3/240/1632210|last=Killgore|first=William D.

左右腦都負責處理情緒，只是左腦多處理正面情緒、社交功能，而右腦則關於生存方面的情緒。也同時解釋為何有些人對壓力有不同的反應，因為個體間左右腦不對稱情緒處理<ref>{{Cite book|chapter=Asymmetric Frontal Brain Activity, Cortisol, and Behavior Associated with Fearful Temperament in Rhesus Monkeys|title=Foundations in Social Neuroscience|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.7551/mitpress/3077.003.0072|publisher=The MIT Press|date=2002|isbn=9780262269674}}</ref>。

'''Vertical integration models'''

透過懼怕制約(fear conditioning)認為{{Translink|en|Ventromedial prefrontal cortex|4=vmPFC}}腦部抑制懼怕感覺，而[[杏仁核]]則整合大腦皮質及皮質下的訊號<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Lesions of the human amygdala impair enhanced perception of emotionally salient events|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/35077083|last=Anderson|first=Adam K.|last2=Phelps|first2=Elizabeth A.|date=2001-05|journal=Nature|issue=6835|doi=10.1038/35077083|volume=411|pages=305–309|issn=0028-0836}}</ref>，[[海马体|海馬體]]則負責聯繫（記憶）懼怕感覺與刺激物。而{{Translink|en|Somatic marker hypothesis}}則研究情緒是決策時角色。透過{{Translink|en|Iowa gambling task}}發現{{Translink|en|Ventromedial prefrontal cortex|4=vmPFC}}損傷病人比起正常人用更危險的策略（更高風險）<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Insensitivity to future consequences following damage to human prefrontal cortex|url=http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/0010027794900183|last=Bechara|first=Antoine|last2=Damasio|first2=Antonio R.|date=1994-04|journal=Cognition|issue=1-3|doi=10.1016/0010-0277(94)90018-3|volume=50|pages=7–15|language=en|last3=Damasio|first3=Hanna|last4=Anderson|first4=Steven W.|access-date=2019-03-24|archive-date=2021-03-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210308011118/https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/0010027794900183|dead-url=no}}</ref>。
