THE PHYSIOLOGY AND MECHANISMS OF EMOTIONS
Abstract
This article examines the physiology of emotions and the biological mechanisms underlying emotional experiences. Emotions are complex psychological states closely associated with the functioning of the nervous system, endocrine system, and brain structures. The paper discusses the role of key brain regions, including the amygdala, hypothalamus, and cerebral cortex, in the generation and regulation of emotions. It also analyzes the physiological changes that accompany emotional states, such as alterations in heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, and hormonal activity. Special attention is given to the interaction between physiological processes and emotional responses, highlighting their significance in human behavior and adaptation. The study contributes to a better understanding of the biological foundations of emotions and their role in psychological functioning.
