Yes, emotion is
taking part in making decisions. It is really hard though to make decisions,
particularly the important ones, eh? Our limbic system has powerful connections
with the frontal lobes. If these connections are being destroyed, there will
be problems in making decisions. When those people without the connections between
the limbic system and the frontal lobes are facing a problem, which is requiring
to make a decision, they will analyze and evaluate all the choices and may make
the final decision for irrelevant reasons. They cannot feel their own emotional
judgments, they may even admit that they know how should they feel, yet they
don't really have the feelings. For us, normal people, when we are making a decision,
the solution with the 'right feel' for us will often get chosen for conscious
consideration. We'll not being annoyed by the many possible solutions.
