THE SCIENCE BEHIND EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

 Emotions are not just a matter of the heart recent advances in research have shown that they are also a result of brain boichemistry these conclusions come from neuroscience evolution medicine psychology and management emotional singnals in the brain are felt throughtout the body in the gut in the heart in the hand in the neck  and so on these sensations are important signals if we learn to read them thye will help as to make dicisions and initiate action 

                  most scientists belive that the control center of emotions in the brain is the limbic system consisting of the amygdala the hippocampus and other strutures in the mindbrain the limbic system stores every experience we have from the first moments of life impressions are stored in these areas long brfore we acquire the verbal or higher thinking abilities to put them into words  it is the vast warehouse of feelings and impressions that provides a context or meaning for those memories

                    Messages are transmitted to the brain by neurons thrvelling  through an electrical transmission system in the 1970s however scientists discovered that our bodies also contain a chemical system of transmitting messages this system is based oh chemicals called peptides which have receptors in every cell of our bodies these highly sensitive information substance are througohout our lives our brains are linked to all our body systems and it is these peptides that are responsible foe the emotions we feel in various parts of our bodies 

                       this chemical trsnsmission system just described is far older in evolutinary history than the electrical brain in fact many of the same information substsnce found in humans are found in one celled animals their presense is the most basic as well as the most complex form of life is a clear indication of their importance
