Some of the sub-threads on the DL/symbolic debate stray into the area of emotion. I seem to see this in a very different light than those that think the brain works out the value of actions and selects them from a pure logic POV.
In this post I outline the intersection of the limbic and cortical system with the this point being the hippocampus.
All episodic memories are colored with the emotion of the outcome of the episode:

This cast the role of episodic memory in a very different light - you can't decide how you felt about something until after you experienced it. Hence, an experience buffer. This mechanism adds tremendous predictive power.
This is one of many memory systems in the brain. This post identifies several of these systems and outlines the relationship between them:

I would add this post that outline the critical nature of emotion to the formation of judgement:

Dr Marcus, I will admit that I have not read them all your writings - what I have read has not inspired me to read more so I may have missed where you addressed my concerns.
This is the core of my problems with what I have read - the brain does not seem to work like you are describing. You seem to base your explanations as if the brain processes things like we see them out here in sensory space.
Objects, relations between objects, words, letters, sounds, sequences of sounds. The brain sees this as clouds of impulses with some time and space correlation.
