Moods & Emotion - Topic Summary

We, human beings have the ability to explain, to remember, to learn and to make ideas or decisions. Our mind is able to lead us to reach our goals. Human beings are motivated by different feelings. Yet these feelings are motivating human in different ways. As I have mentioned before, our mind can lead us to reach our goals, in other words, we are motivated by reason and intelligence. But desires and passions can also motivated us powerfully, yet in a different way that reason and intelligence do.

These feelings are called emotions generally. Emotion is a term for certain reactions and expressed feelings. It is derived from the Latin verb, movere, in which its meaning is "to move". Emotions move and direct us to do things. Wow� It seems like emotion is so important to us, is it? How much do you know about emotion? How does our brain work with emotion physically?

"Is the brain, which is notably double in structure, a double organ, 'seeming parted, but yet a union in partition'? " -- H. Maudsley (from The Double Brain, 1889)
