I don't disagree with you: "emotion" certainly involves regions traditionally considered the substrate of "cognition", and vice versa - the idea of completely isolated, distinct neural modules for every kind of progress is considered pretty far off the mark nowadays by most researchers. Nevertheless, these regions are still differentiated, and system two processes (or Working Memory, if you prefer) primarily rely on prefrontal cortical networks, while system one processes don't. | |

I believe Krysta was saying they aren't distinct systems: "Brain structures at the heart of the neural circuitry for emotion (e.g., the amygdala) impact cognitive processing from early attention allocation (Holland & Gallagher 1999) through perceptual processing to memory (for a recent review, see Phelps 2006). Similarly, brain structures involved in the neural circuitry for cognition, such as DMPFC and VLPFC, have an intrinsic role in the experience of emotion" | |
