Is the complexity or non-complexity of feelings and emotions an apparent issue of the complexity or non-complexity of our cerebral orientaion?

What is the measured speed of cerebral impulse?
I think cerebral activity is always a response before it is a cause. Naturally the more complex the organism the more complex the response. Then again are nerds great lovers?

Lioness: I am really curious about this issue as well. I would assume that it is a reflex to stimuli and then the brain, getting the impulse places a judgement call on it and the two together make this composite that we call an emotion. I really don't know. Plato said that the third element of the soul is full of wild emotions and animalistic cravings but what are appetites? If love is oxytocin what role do chemicals have in the body which shape emotions. Yes, what is an emotion? This is a really good question best given to the scientists. You should have put it under that category. I encourage you to do so lioness and then tell me your conclusion at poetinasia@gmail.com

The brain is still the most less understood organ of all times.
How can an organ that mostly consist of nurves determin my personality and my emotions.
The body is a system with its own feedback loops. As soon as you hurt a part of your body you feel pain. The brain reacts on this pain by sending instructions kept in the brain (as memory from previous encounters) to remove the part that is hurting from the part that is hurting.
With this conclusion drawn you can say that emotions is a reaction on a situation that has previously happened and is a learned reaction from the past.
Then you say but what about babies that smile? Well the brain is to be believed already storing data as the fetus is developed and just growing bigger.

As much as I'd like to romanticized this, everything we humans do are from the workings of our all mighty brains (the bringer of "cerebral impulses").
In Egyptian times, they thought that it was the heart that is the our main organ and so they threw out the brains of the mummies. They thought that the heart is what brings about feelings because it pumps up more blood when we are in love or scared or having any other more intense feelings.
But yeah, it's all gray matter. :)

In my opinion...
Emotions are genetic responses to the basic protection requirements our DNA has required us to evolve.
To hate and fear is to recognise a threat to our safety - however it manifests (this is often very surreal as the mind is a complicated thing)...
To love is to endorse and express intent of something we find intrinsically safe...
Comes down to the basic Fight or Flight mechanism within all mammals.
They are so complex it is impossible to truly know..Why do the hairs stick up on the back of your neck when a great song comes on? No one knows for sure, but everyone knows its's true...

the complexity lies in the information, both cogent and non-cogent that our brain processes, factoring in our background, education, and social status. the non-complexity of feelings and emotions can and will manifest by our more primitive animal instinct..
which would be more or less complex-i am hungry? or i must have that food?
