Part of such psychological explanations requires noting the positive valuation you attach to such
concepts as winning and money. Even though these valuations have a neural basis, through
coordination between neural populations for verbal representations and ones for positive value, the
psychological level of explanation remains important because of our lack of knowledge about the
neural details and the direct relevance of concepts like money to our practical interests. Hence
psychological explanations of emotions can coexist with and complement neural ones, just as
molecular explanations can.
