Signals are activated and travel upward to the Cortical areas of the brain, and the activation produces a feeling of safety or is it a threat? This activation produces a strong feeling of safety or threat. The type of emotion experienced depends on which part of the brain or cortical areas are activated. Is it the Cortisone, the fight or flight pathways. I would say not too swift if you trigger your fear. Who wants to be sick from fear?

Emotion circuits are information from the environment coming in through senses, and threats from guns in your basement, coming into my living room, well I question your sanity. The rest of my body is constantly in a state of “memory patterns.” The main “emotion sensory” is the amygdala which is particularly sensitive on my part from awareness. instincts, intuition, Judgements from experience, and knowledge of the optimum brain that is Loving you, Loving me, Loving us, Loving We, and the expression inside my being of what are you doing?Are you crazy if you are threatening with guns? I really question your sanity?

The amygdala takes it’s information both directly from sense organs, memory, experience, knowledge, and the sensory cortex connections through to the Cortex and to the hypothalamus creating a circuit. When the amygdala is activated it sends signals around the circuit.  These trigger body changes as they pass through the hypothalamus and create conscious recognition of the emotion, as they pass through the frontal lobe. Positive emotions are passed along on a slightly different circuit which takes in an area of the brain stem that produces mood lifting dopamine neurotransmitters.

Emotions arise in the amygdala, the brain stem, or limbic system, and the hypothalamus, and conscious feeling involves the orbito-frontal and the cingulate cortex. The amygdala and hypothalamus are active in expression of emotion and feelings, while the thalamus maintains consciousness.

Emotions become conscious from the large frontal and parietal lobes and are involved in making emotions and feelings conscious and mediating with intensity, adaptation and survival instruction.

Information of the emotion and orientation of the emotion travels from the thalamus, ventral striatum, and amygdala to the rostral lower anterior cingulate cortex. Regulatory signals travel from areas of the frontal, and prefrontal cortices to meet them.

Feeling hatred sparks a pattern of activity in brain areas that include the amygdala which responds to all negative emotion, and chemical responses of cortisone, and dopamine in the insula associated with disgust and rejection and also areas of the brain connected negative actions and calculations that often do not include a broad perspective. Feeling hatred involves areas linked to calculations of plotting followed by attacks.

There is timing to emotions when something grabs our attention rapidly like hate, rapidly comparing to things we do not feel comfortable with. The sight of something posing as a threat is brought to conscious awareness faster than a non emotional stimuli.

For example; I respond positively to a baby’s smile

VS

A threat of guns being use

or A

A biological virus being used against a population has a rapid fight or flight response.

Of course a smiling face as a stimuli grabs my attention and you will receive positive feedback. If there is a face of recognition from the fusiform gyrus, providing more detailed input to emotion, inducing parts of the brain such as the brain with the amygdala trigger, and in a positive way, through the Orbito-frontal Cortex, the fusiform gyrus, the Primary Visual Cortex, the Superior Temporal Cortex, as a positive stimuli, after a few milliseconds, the  emotional meaning is patterned.  Emotions and feelings act as a cue that prompts adaptive behaviors, mood, or contrasts of moods such as sadness , when guns or a threat is used. These moods are prone to depression after a shock. If you bully too often, it can cause one to feel so alone, they can commit suicide. What the heck are you thinking? Wow!

Nature killings, wars, guns, kids being shot, land being taken, kids being shot in schools, our children being threatened and bullied are subjected to these feelings, let alone adults and some of these pathways are unconscious pathways, and unconscious stimuli, and responses of

Anger challenging responses to another.

Fear us a threat of dominants to another person or country.

Sadness from experience of Loved ones that hurt you.

Disgust is UN-wholesome gun threats to the well being.

Surprised is shocked, and a focus by fight or flight to an object of surprise.

Important….Desires are a complex of feelings and are made up of differing components liking and wanting and linked to pleasure. Wanting is linked to an actual need for something. For example, the want to be loved, or to love another.

The Reward System also involves the Nucleus Accumbens and Prefrontal Cortex and it starts in the Ventral Tagmental area where dopamine released is triggered in the Nucleus Accumbens and goes to the Pre-fontral Cortex, and these pleasure seeking patterns of pathways seek pleasure and certainly not death threats. The fMRI shows with great anticipation cerebral blood flow in the amygdala and orbito-frontal cortex which increases, indicating activity in the Nucleus Accumbens, and the Hypothalamus and all the very rich in dopamine receptor regions. A Reward anticipation shows activity in the left intraparietal Cortex area and Activity in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex and Intraparietal Cortex showing a great attention and focus on the task at hand, or a goal of Peace.

Action is the Cortex and body actions to achieve such goals as Peace. Humans are exceptionally social Creatures and need each other for mutual support and protection. To this end we have evolved brains that are exquisitely sensitive to others of our kind. The social brain is a set of functions that between them ensure that we can operate in a tightly knit community. It includes the ability to communicate with and to understand other people and to keep track of our social status in relation to them. In order to achieve this we also need to be able to generate a sense of  being a distinct self.

And to this end…I want to make sure that you understand about me, I do not live at the shallow end of the gene pool, or the pool of water, because often they pee in that end. And further…Please throw your rod over the other side of the boat, you might find females there with offspring, such as Mary, our Rosa Mystica,  a Mother of Jesus. Beauty is in the homo sapien evolved enough to know what a homo sapien is, and what they do, and where they came from, and what a homo sapien does, because in my world Homo sapiens such as Jesus Christ born in the flesh, love their mother. They even love their own bodies as temples, and Love all creation, and further not giving them taxes they cannot pay because of high prices, or wars and equipment that kill them, or viruses that kill them.
