The Brain and Emotion

Research in neuroscience has found that the brain is where emotions are felt, this then causes the limbic system to respond with a specific hormonal cascade and altered physiology related to that emotion. If the emotion arrives and moves quickly through the system then no permanent change in physiology will be noted, however, if the emotion is prolonged then the physiology will change over this prolonged period of time. This causes organs associated with this emotions’ physiology to change too.
