Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The Cannon-Bard theory states that the lower part of the brain, also called the thalamus, controls your experience of emotion. At the same time, the higher part of the brain, also called the cortex, controls the expression of emotion. It is believed that these two parts of the brain react simultaneously.

Detailed explanation-2: -James-Lange Theory They theorized that when a person faces a particular situation, their brain sends signals throughout the body that result in physical changes in response to the situation. The emotions people experience were believed to be a result of the physiological arousal that occurred beforehand.
