Question
How does the brain work when angry?
✓
Answer
When a person experiences and expresses anger, the limbic system is functional and not the cortex.
The data coming in passes through the amygdala; where the decision is made whether to send the data to the limbic system or the cortex.
If the incoming data triggers enough emotional charge, then it is sent to the limbic system, causing the person to react using the lower part of the brain.
On average, it takes 20 minutes for an angry person to calm down.
