Limbic system-2

(Limbic system-1........... ...The limbic system is the portion of the brain that deals with three keyfunctions: emotions, memories and arousal (or stimulation. ... )


In simple words, the limbic system has two important roles to play in the material sense under discussion.
One is to store inputs as data in the memory of human mind. And the other is to compare any incoming data with its existing data base, to yield an involuntary response by way of 'yes', 'no', 'i don't know' or 'is it?' or likes of these.
Your spontaneous nod to anything seen,read or heard, whether in agreement or disagreement or astonishment or whatever, is engineered by the limbic system.
Teach a kid the table of two twos are 5. Let it go down the memory data base. And then say two twos are 4, you will receive a negative nod in response .
This may seem too much of an exaggeration where data corrections are feasible by scientific reasoning or athithmatical logic. Difficulty occurs where logic system gets dwarfed by belief systems.
