What brain areas are active when one experiences positive emotions?

 

If of course amygdala is involved in negative emotions but not all nuclei IIRC. What about positive ones?

Well, there are certain parts of the brain that triggers emotions, not just positive ones. the Limbic System for example; which consists of 
Cingulate Gyrus, Parahypocampus, dentate nucleus, Hypocampus, the Amygdala, and the Hypothalamus. They are all linked to stimulate you emotional response. the positivity of emotions I believe links also to the hormonal changes of the body for example is Dopamine, or what we call the Happy hormones  I hope I explained it well.

Well , We do have emotion-rousing\triggering areas. Dichotomizing these areas  (or their efficacy) into  +  and  -  is , however , the job of populist U_Tube and Internet self-help Gurus . . . . . .
