Explore the different lobes of the human brain, from the right hemisphere to the left hemisphere, and how they impact emotions and mental health. Discover the areas, functions, and special pieces-parts of the brain that can be adversely affected, leading to conditions like anxiety, PTSD, depression, and bipolar illness. Learn about the nervous system, neurotransmitters, and how the fight or flight response can influence thinking and emotions. Unravel the complexity of neurons and their role in transmitting electrical signals for bodily responses.

Special Pieces-Parts The Emotional Gateway to the brain Adversely affected can affect conditions such as anxiety (particularly panic), PTSD, depression, and bipolar illness (Mood Disorders). When the fight or flight response goes haywire, thinking is hijacked by emotion.
The Nervous System Neurotransmitters carry electrical signals across dendrites at the synapses (gaps between nerve cells in the brain). In turn, these signals relay messages to the specific parts of the body needed for appropriate responses. Neurotransmitters include dopamine, adrenaline (epinephrine), serotonin, Acetylcholine, Gaba, Glutamate, Histamine, and Endorphin. …and the Neuron!
