The research conducted at the University of California has shown, that it is not important whom you speak to - a friend, a concrete wall or the imagined interlocutor. Both that, and another helps a human brain to cope with a crisis situation.
According to scientists, putting into words anger, annoyance and disappointment calms brain’s sector which is responsible for emotional shocks. Bluntly speaking, conversation reduces work of the sector responsible for a panic and fear, making active the area responsible for the control over emotions. This process allows the person to calm down and cope with negative feelings.
Within the framework of an experiment scientists have connected to brain scanners 18 women and 12 men in the age from 18 till 36 years. The volunteers have been shown photos with the faces reflecting various emotions - such as anger and fear - and have been asked to describe these feelings.
Research has shown, that at that moment when the person uses words “malicious� and “angry� to the face reflecting these emotions - scanners show decrease in reaction in amigdalin sector, the part of a brain responsible for emotions and feelings.
