Fast track and Slow track emotions
Step-by-step explanation:
Emotions and physiology go hand in hand through fast track and slow track circuits.
Emotions are derived from both the thinking and the emotional brain.
When emotions arise from the emotional brain, emotions run through a fast-track circuit. Emotions prelude thinking and provide no time for any situational analysis. These emotions arise due to a fight-or-flight response system to a trigger and are mostly instantaneous reactions. Examples include sudden rage or anger towards someone without understanding the situation or the consequences and then later feeling for the same.
When emotions arise from the thinking brain, emotions run through a slow-track circuit. The brain thinks, analyses the situation, and then signals the emotion response correspondingly. Thoughts prelude emotions in slow track circuit. Example, the emotion of frustration when one gets after a poor performance in the exam and fearing of the consequences.
