"Basic affects reflect the diversity of satisfactions (potential rewards/reinforcements) and discomforts (punishments) that are inherited tools for living from our ancestral past.
Affects are neurobiologically-ingrained potentials of the nervous system, which are triggered, moulded and refined by life experiences.
(...)
Emotional affects appear to be closely linked to certain prototypical types of action readiness (e.g., rage, fear, desire, lust, distress, nurturance, playfulness) that may derive their characteristic experiential feels from brain operating systems that orchestrate such instinctual responses.
Other affects, constituting the pleasures and displeasures of sensations (e.g., enticing and disgusting stimuli) and bodily homeostatic and background feelings (e.g., hunger and exhilaration), reflect how life-supportive and life-detracting stimuli create neuro-phenomenological changes that help index neuro-metabolic states of well-being."
