Their study identifies four central emotion-related concepts - "GOOD," "WANT," "BAD," and "LOVE" - as having the highest number of associations with other emotional words in multiple languages. This finding aligns with traditional semantic methods and natural semantic metalanguage (NSM), reinforcing the universality of these emotions. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/emotion-language-25476/feed/ 0 https://neurosciencenews.com/dendrite-neural-variability-25465/ https://neurosciencenews.com/dendrite-neural-variability-25465/#comments Tue, 16 Jan 2024 21:58:11 +0000 https://neurosciencenews.com/?p=99451 Researchers made a groundbreaking discovery in understanding the brain's neuronal variability, with significant implications for both neuroscience and AI development.
