Summary
Ever since Aristotle, happiness has been thought of as pleasure (hedonia) and a life well-lived (eudamonia). Substantial progress in understanding the neurobiology of sensory pleasure has been made. Interspecies pleasure research says that pleasure manifests in consciousness (subjective liking) and in brain and behavioural reactions (objective liking). Beyond the feeling of liking there are components of reward that contain wanting, motivation for reward and learning, associations, representations and predictions about future rewards. The “hedonic brain” is a description of the neuroanatomy of pleasure, a large scale neuronal network consisting of subcortical nuclei, eg. periaquaductal gray, ventral tegmental area, ventral palidum and nc. accumbens (ventral striatum) and of cortical parts, orbitofrontal, cingulate, medial frontal and insular cortices. Pleasure, eudamonic happiness, may arise due to the function of brain’s default system.
