Could you post some specific claims? Panksepp shows how there are core, "primitive" emotional responses and behaviors that are shared. He does not argue against more complex emotions or emotional regulation being more constructivist

Ok I read first 5%. This is more pop neuro than Panksepp so maybe unfair to compare. I don't see much contradiction. Simplification, yes. Also perhaps attacking a strawman of classic neuro. Or perhaps Panksepp is not classic neuro. Eg he would not consider Happy or Angry as core

My read of the evidence is that there is a static firmware piece. But, at least for humans, there is a huge programmable piece. Much of which seems to not even be composed of the firmware pieces.
