The Brain
Question
You described in the book Neuroscience people whose fear center is impaired.
- Does every emotion have such a center? You said several times that there is neural activity in the brain when a person experiences emotions — is that what you mean by a center?
- I didn’t understand the libertarian interpretation of this.
Which stage is this? (a) input of data and its processing, (b) the decision of the intellect and the will, (c) the sending of electrical signals by the brain to the organs
I’d be happy for an explanation
Answer
“The fear center” is a metaphorical expression. As far as I know (and I am not an expert), mental phenomena occur through a combination of different areas in the brain.
I didn’t understand your question about libertarianism. My entire book is devoted to that. If you can be more concrete, I can try to help.
