I have five children. I loved my children with all my heart. After the accident, I forgot I had children. I remembered my youngest,after a short time; all the love I felt for her returned. I had to force the memories of my other four children back by looking at the photos albums. I remembered them, but only the memories that were a part of the pictures. I NEVER FELT THE LOVE FOR THEM AGAIN. I always believed love is a spiritual thing. So how could damage to a brain cause you to lose it. This web site is the first thing that I have found that address the problem.Thank You I had a TBI 22 years ago. I have five children. I loved my children with all my heart.

This reaction induces him or her to assume a body response, a facial expression, a gesture or select a specific behavior. An emotion takes place between a perception and a subsequent reaction.How we feel about things is the central concern for people, because emotions mediate between our bodies with their physical perceptions and images of the world and our minds with their concepts and ideas. Physical experiences and the biochemical reactions in our bodies trigger emotions in the consciousness, and the conscious and subconscious responses of our emotional feelings stimulate biochemical processes in the body. Human beings are well integrated systems, and any separation between the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual is artificial, merely for purposes of analysis.You can read the rest at my post, check the comments that some of them are realy amazing; http://singyourownlullaby.blogspot.com/2009/07/emotions.html An emotion is a complex reaction from a person to a perception.

The hypocampus is extremely vunerable to stress hormones. When those hormones reach a high level, they supress the activity of the hypocampus and as a result the hypocampus loses its ability to function normal, no matter you're a woman or a man.

Of course, being human, our very survival depended on (and very much still does depend on) our resourcefulness and creativity, since our bodies require more from our bodies than we have to survive, e.g. instead of nature endowing us with the claws to kill, we are endowed with the means to build the claws to kill, or indeed the claws to plough the Earth! – we need social groups, structure, co-operation & invention – it’s our hallmark! -and all of the mental processes that allow this are ultimately driven by emotion, i.e. what we WANT!
