Question

What part of the brain controls emotions and feelings?

Answer 1

Answer:

Emotions, like fear and love, are carried out by the limbic system, which is located in the temporal lobe. While the limbic system is made up of multiple parts of the brain, the center of emotional processing is the amygdala, which receives input from other brain functions, like memory and attention.

The cerebrum, the large, outer part of the brain, controls reading, thinking, learning, speech, emotions and planned muscle movements like walking. It also controls vision, hearing and other senses. The cerebrum is divided two cerebral hemispheres (halves): left and right.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

• Limbic system is a main part of the brain responsible for processing emotions.
• It consist of multiple parts of the brain.
• The center of emotional processing is the amygdala, which receives input from other brain functions, like memory and attention.
• Emotional response is generated in the amygdala. Feelings of anxiety and fear would likely motivate to change the mind.
• If the amygdala is damaged,  control of base impulses will be lost.
• The amygdala helps coordinate responses to things in the environment, especially those that trigger an emotional response. This structure plays an important role in fear and anger.

• Sadness is experienced in the amygdala and left prefrontal cortex.

• The left hemisphere of the brain processes while the right hemisphere identifies.
• When falling in love, right hemisphere would identify the feeling, but left hemisphere would help to decide on how to act.
• The hypothalamus regulates the emotions by controlling the autonomic nervous system.  It also controls the endocrine system which is responsible for hormone production and release.
• The hypothalamus also controls physical reaction to emotion.
