Actually, neurochemical states influence the firing of neurons(viz. the
"thoughts" and "feelings" of the subject), and it is that particular
influence, or tendency of thoughts, which is the mood itself.
Also associated with moods are physiological effects, such as accelerated
heartbeat, and so on. The perception of these effects is a neural event.
