The reward system, largely regulated by dopamine , governs both our emotional states and our drive to repeat pleasurable behaviors. Ch 10: Emotion and Motivation – Psychological Science

Both constructs involve physiological arousal—responses like increased heart rate or energy from the sympathetic nervous system.
