Emotion and mood are pervasive and internalized in our daily life and impose a huge impact on physical well-being, perception, experi- ence, judgement, and behavior. Neuroscientists have launched projects to fill the gaps in our understanding on neural mechanisms of emotion and mood. The limbic system, composed of a set of brain structures including amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, and hypothalamus, is well known for the regulation of emotion and mood.
