Although the above link is written as a neurodivergent insight, the theories and principles are applicable and useful to all of us, and provide a framework for understanding emotions through the lens of the mind body connection. Scientific Literature cited.

The above link, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, publishes research that advances our understanding of the brain mechanisms supporting cognitive and social behavior in humans. There is a plethora of scientific research in this journal and elsewhere which has formed the basis of what we call "mindbody" science!

Neuroscientists at the University of Pittsburgh have identified the neural networks that connect the cerebral cortex to the adrenal medulla, which is responsible for the body’s rapid response in stressful situations. These findings, reported in the online Early Edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), provide evidence for the neural basis of a mind-body connection.
