demonstrate how your understanding of emotions has changed given your new awareness of how and why emotions are generated on the neuroanatomical level. You may rely on neurological data, findings from moral dilemma responses, hormonal contributions, and/or case studies to support your explanation.
Emotions are important factors in human behavior. Neuroanatomically, Limbic system is responsible for controlling and processing of emotions. In Limbic system, amygdala is the processing center of emotions which receive input from our senses and internal organs.
There are hormones involved in this process. Serotonin, dopamine, endorphins, and oxytocin are major hormones involved in this process. Dopamine is the happy hormone which is produced in times of achievement, encouragement etc. Sadness or depression is due to serotonin.
Endorphins are pain responses in body.
