Embodied Hot Cognitive Vulnerability to Emotional Disorders​

Abstract

Cognition comes in varieties and kinds. One kind of emotional cognition, embodied emotional cognition recruits brain states involved in emotional experience by simulations during cognitive representations. Based on the idea that embodied distorted emotional cognition may play a role in emotional disorders, in this chapter, I review studies showing that neuroadaptations and features of disturbed emotions are similarly evidenced during distorted cognition. In the case of embodied distorted emotional cognition, it seems that the differences that confer a distorted quality of emotional simulations depend on whether they engage (besides the other multimodal components) hyper-reactive generative affective brain regions, usually associated to deficient recruitment of regulatory brain regions or a shift from an inhibitory mode to an emotional amplification mode. Implications for the model of clinical cognition are discussed.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Although I focus here on the central processes involved in the embodiment, I recognize that embodiment is a situated process involving peripheral mechanisms, other body processes influencing the neural emotional embodiments as well. For example, using an animal model of stress, Wohleb and his colleagues (2015) showed that after single-stress exposure the mice become sensitized and at the presentation of a new stressor the re-establishment of anxiety in stress-sensitized mice is dependent on monocytes trafficking from the spleen to the brain circuits. If replicated in humans, this result may point to a role of monocytes trafficking from the spleen in the distorted emotional embodiments and distorted cognition. Other peripheral processes in the embodiment of cognition may be represented by heart activity, breathing, postures, facial expressions, movements, and so forth. For example, facial expression may participate in biases of attention such as disgust-facial muscle movements in gating sensory input and fear-facial movements in increasing sensory input (Vermeulen et al. 2009).
