The mind and the brain, feelings and emotions

In the structure of the brain, each specific area corresponds to a

function and therefore an emotion which in turn generates a feeling.

The interaction between all brain areas and between the right lobe

(Broca’s area) and the left lobe (Wernicke’s area), allows a perfect

functioning of the homeostatic processes of each individual, thus creating

the development of a conscious subjectivity endowed with ethical sense

and morality.

What are the areas of the brain

and what functions do they have?

The two hemispheres of the brain

control the opposite part of the body

and therefore, if there are cardiovascular

accidents, one part

or another of the brain will be

compromised.

First of all, I would like to point out that the

nervous system and the brain, which is part

of it, are very complex structures. The aim

is to explain, in the simplest way possible,

the functioning of the most important

organ of our body.

Brain stem

It is located at the base of the brain. Vital functions such as: heart rhythm,

breathing and blood pressure and digestion are functions controlled by this

area. It is also a bridge of communication between the brain and the rest of the

body, through the spinal cord. The brainstem is in turn divided into: bulb or

myelencephalon and midbrain. This is the engine of the brain and the centre of

the development of consciousness. A compromise or damage to the brainstem

constitutes a total blackout, of all the most important functions, leading precisely

to a loss of identity.

The brain is the organ that serves to

explain the control and regulation of body

functions. This organ is composed of

thousands of nerve cells that respond to

different stimuli sent by our body and the

external environment.

Cerebellum

It is the organ that maintains and posture and is involved in all the motor

processes of our body and coordinates all our movements.

Learning is always a painful process.

from Lucy

The brain is divided into three areas:

brainstem, cerebellum and brain proper.

Brain

The brain is the organ that receives the stimuli and translates them into

responses, it is related to emotions, somato-sensory structure and memories.

For example, when we burn ourselves and feel a sensation of strong physical

pain, an internal imbalance of our equilibrium and of our basic feeling takes

place inside us, starting already from the lower or primordial neural bases that

communicate with the upper ones in an automatic way.
