Well, sort of in the middle, sort of back behind the ears a little bit.
We call that the limbic system.
Fancy word basically means emotional processing center.
And that means it's all of our fears.
It's all of our anxieties.
It's all of our excitement and energy.
That's all back here.
All of the thinking, the rational stuff, the ability to go, hmm, there is a really effective way for me to process this and deal with it.
That all happens up here behind our forehead, above our eyes.
We call that the prefrontal cortex.
That's like the executive of the brain.
But if this input comes in from somebody who's saying something slanderous or just something unkind online, it hits our brain and it gets to the emotional part of our brain and it kind of stops there.
The emotional part of the brain says, hold on, we've got this.
This requires our focus, our attention.
It's not going any further.
And I'm kind of being a little bit loose with the neuropsychology, but it's close enough.
Or neurobiology.
What's really going on here is all the blood...
which therefore means all the oxygen that your brain needs to function and do what it's supposed to do, kind of goes back there.
Your thinking brain therefore is starved of oxygen and starved of blood and it doesn't get to kick in because it's all happening back here.
