In the brain, there are many factors that are involved when working with the emotional chemistry that is undergone in the minds of people daily. The brain relies on electrical impulses and chemical signals that carry messages across different parts of the brain and throughout the nervous system. People rely on chemical signals control how they talk, eat, walk and do basic human characteristics but in an even deeper level they decipher the thought process behind those actions and inactions humans do. There are four different areas that control our brains and the way we think about brains. The four regions are the Amygdala Prefrontal cortex (PFC), Anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and the Hippocampus.

The Prefrontal Cortex uses short- term memory and is also used in recalling past long- term memories. This region also aids the Amygdala in an upsetting or stressful time to resolve a problem or make a difficult decision. The PFC is an aid in things ranging from choosing which shirt to wear in the morning to what to make for dinner at night and all the events that occur in between. People who have reduced activity in their PFCs typically incur PTSD or ADHD.
The Anterior Cingulate Cortex also has many controls in the brain that ranges from gauging blood pressure to staying motivated. Some of the controls in the middle are keeping motivation, staying focused, and “managing proper emotional reactions”. The ACC basically gauges how much attention is given in different situations. The Anterior Cingulate Cortex also helps control heart rate and handle an occurrence where we make a mistake. When people have low levels of ACC ADHD, schizophrenia, and depression is more likely to be …show more content…
Adrenaline is produced when a person is stressed and quickens the heart beat and builds up the hearts contraction, opens the bronchioles in the lungs and causes other results. Cortisol is also a result of stress of a person and regulates glucose, blood pressure, blood sugar, immune function and inflammatory response. Oxytocin is a hormone that is used for reproduction in people and is used during sexual orgasm in couples. Oxytocin is sometimes referred to as the “love hormone” because of the positive emotions that are released towards one’s partner while “in love”. Acetylcholine is the hormone that controls the temperament of the severe effects of adrenaline. When a person is angered, the heart is weakened and the arteries are stiffened which can induce feelings of emotions such as anxiety and depression and even, when severe, may result in a heart
