Rafal, like gts (though less well-informed), everything that I
have ever heard confines emotions to the limbic system. Probably
also like him (fat chance he's a she) I don't feel like perusing
all the many pointers in all your previous posts.

Could you give any specific one of them that indicates a role
of the cortex in subjective experience of emotion?

Thanks,
Lee
