what came first...the brain or the heart?


We love to say our emotions come from our heart. We have "sayings" that we all use that help others understand how we are feeling.

*broken* a heavy *
*from the bottom of my *
*ache * cross my*
* less*

Do our emotions actually come from our heart or our brain? Researchers maintained for a number of years that our emotions were strictly connected to thoughts developed by the brain. But there must be a reason that we have all literally felt emotions coming from our heart at some point or another. This article makes sense of it all.

  1. I think that some emotions are so overpowering that our brain feels embarrassed we would even be hurt by someone else. Does anybody ever feel stupid about the way they are feeling? Like they know whats bothering them is really dumb and doesn't matter, but you're still bothered by it?
