Abstract

Emotion is a stirred-up state caused by physiological changes occurring as a response to some event and which tends to maintain or abolish the causative event. Understanding the neuroanatomical basis of the genesis and control of emotions is quintessential in understanding how biology affects the mind and in turn, helps in understanding our own nature. We present a short communication explaining the neurological basis of emotions.
