PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Sympathetic nervous system: This system activates body processes that help you in times of need, especially times of stress or danger. This system is responsible for your body’s “fight-or-flight” response.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to the theory of somatic markers, the amygdala is the key place in the CNS that triggers somatic states from primary emotions, as it matures before the cerebral cortex of the frontal lobe.

Detailed explanation-3: -The limbic system is a group of interconnected structures located deep within the brain. It’s the part of the brain that’s responsible for behavioral and emotional responses.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for ramping us up towards high arousal “fight or flight” states. Through the release of the chemical messenger norepinephrine, the sympathetic nervous system produces changes throughout the body that support our functioning in these higher stress environments.

Detailed explanation-5: -Your sympathetic nervous system is part of your autonomic nervous system. It could be called your “automatic” nervous system, as it is responsible for many functions that you don’t have to think about to control.
