Quotes
Emotional and Rational Brain
“Chukim are Judaism’s way of reconfiguring the limbic system, the emotional brain, by way of acts that bypass the prefrontal cortex, the rational brain. Contemporary neuroscience has shown us how this works, and why. Rationality, vitally important in its own right, is only half the story of why we do what we do.”
