The limbic brain, as they say, is the seat of all human emotions. Infants have an 'open-loop' limbic system, which gets regulated in close co-ordination with their mothers' limbic systems. Although not completely proven, it is believed that babies deprived of limbic connections eventually die. And infants, who have not had a strong connection with their parents, especially mothers, during infancy, grow up to be depressed adults.
However, it is always a two-way process. Human beings are not capable of self-regulating their limbic systems. Therapists treat their patients by altering their limbic systems. A healthy limbic system may therefore be addressed as the key to a happy life.
