Our Emotions and Their Relationship to Brain ChemistryIn our lives, we experience many different types of emotions. But ultimately we have to ask ourselves “What is the correlation between emotions and brain chemistry (AKA, what is the relationship between emotions and the actions/activities of our brain)?” » To understand this, we need to know what emotions actually are, their original use, what happens in the brain during an emotional event and all the mental effects of emotions to fully understand what the correlation is between emotions and brain chemistry. To begin, we ask what the correlation is between emotions and brain chemistry. are really emotions? In all truth, emotions are really just compound, complex thoughts in your brain and the emotions that everyone is feeling right now are just an emotional state made up of multiple emotions and other thoughts. Emotions are also more complex than this statement suggests. Almost everything is emotional; examples of this are that colors are more emotional than black and white and that things that are personal or close to us are emotional rather than those that are not. Opinions are also very emotional. For example, you think highly of others, especially if they make you mad, angry, sad, or irritated, but you think highly of others if they make you happy, cheerful, needed, or smart. To continue this reflection on the learning of emotions, we will move on to their original use. The original use was the evolutionary fight or flight mechanic to survive. Just like the use of dopamine, our source of happiness, its real objective is to use the process of learning by reward, that is to say when we do something good and we is then rewarded with a feeling of happiness, which makes you want to do it again and again. Pain and anxiety are another example and serve middle of paper......and thoughts. Their goal is to ensure that we survive to the next day through fight or flight. The way emotions are processed is that the right brain identifies and then the left brain logically decides what to do and uses the sympathetic nervous system to relay its response and GABA keeps it in check. Emotion mentality consists of a memory in which your emotions are also stored, decision making which includes the emotions in your memory in decision making, thoughts, opinions in the brain and attention span are also affected by your emotional state. So, depending on your emotional states and experiences, your brain chemistry will behave in the best interest of surviving until the next day, even if the emotions one experiences and the way one's brain reacts are different for each person. It's the correlation between brain chemistry and emotions..
