Why and how does anger cause a persons understanding of things “big picture” to wear thin?
SEE MY PROFILE! Because anger is associated with the AMYDALA, which is near the HIPPOCAMPUS, in the limbic system. The HIPPOCAMPUS is associated with memory, so anger clouds people’s judgement, which is linked to previous experiences of memories, and perception, which occurs all over the CORTEX. If you go by the divisions of the cortex: the temporal lobe, the parietal lobe, the frontal lobe, and the occipital lobe, you can, now, see what functions these have and how anger affects them. For instance, the temporal lobe deals with hearing: auditory perception (which will be affected by anger. Also, the speech centres of the brain will be affected by anger: probably a reason why people make repetitions when they are highly emotional.
