• Abstract summary: This study aims to identify an in-depth theoretical graph of how to maximize interactions between brain regions. Comprehensive experiments reveal that hierarchical emotional areas, from lower to higher levels, facilitate the fundamental process of emotion perception. Our findings provide unique insights into the brain mechanisms underlying specific emotions based on the psychological constructionist hypothesis.

• Abstract: The brain basis of emotion has consistently received widespread attention, attracting a large number of studies to explore this cutting-edge topic. However, the methods employed in these studies typically only model the pairwise relationship between two brain regions, while neglecting the interactions and information fusion among multiple brain regions$\unicode{x2014}$one of the key ideas of the psychological constructionist hypothesis. To overcome the limitations of traditional methods, this study provides an in-depth theoretical analysis of how to maximize interactions and information fusion among brain regions. Building on the results of this analysis, we propose to identify the hierarchical emotional areas in the human brain through multi-source information fusion and graph machine learning methods. Comprehensive experiments reveal that the identified hierarchical emotional areas, from lower to higher levels, primarily facilitate the fundamental process of emotion perception, the construction of basic psychological operations, and the coordination and integration of these operations. Overall, our findings provide unique insights into the brain mechanisms underlying specific emotions based on the psychological constructionist hypothesis.

  We propose that the immature prefrontal cortex (PFC) use its primary functionality of detecting hierarchical patterns in temporal signals. Our hypothesis is that the PFC detects the hierarchical structure in temporal sequences in the form of ordinal patterns and use them to index information hierarchically in different parts of the brain. By doing so, it gives the tools to the language-ready brain for manipulating abstract knowledge and planning temporally ordered information.
