| Emotion system: The emotion system in psychology refers to the interconnected neural networks and physiological processes that generate and regulate emotions. It involves brain structures, such as the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, and encompasses the intricate interplay of cognitive, physiological, and behavioral components in the experience and expression of emotions. The emotion system plays a crucial role in adaptive responses to environmental stimuli.

Jeffrey A. Gray on Emotion System - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 358 Emotion System/Gray: reduction of pathological emotions can be achieved in one of two ways: (a) deconditioning aversive reinforcing stimuli, which weakens the strength of stimulus inputs into the innate emotion systems; or (b) by dampening down the activity in the systems themselves (e.g., by the use of drugs that target key molecules in parts of the innate system). We may see the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) as another way to ‘decondition’ the power of hitherto aversive stimuli to activate the emotion systems (e.g., by restructuring ‘irrational’ cognitions that serve as inputs into these systems) Gray 1970)(1). >GrayVsEysenck, >Conditioning/Gray, >Emotion/Gray. 1.
