What part of the brain is responsible for thoughts?
cerebrum
The largest part of the brain, the cerebrum initiates and coordinates movement and regulates temperature. Other areas of the cerebrum enable speech, judgment, thinking and reasoning, problem-solving, emotions and learning.
How is a thought formed in the brain?
When a single neuron fires, it is an isolated chemical blip. When many fire together, they form a thought. How the brain bridges the gap between these two tiers of neural activity remains a great mystery, but a new kind of technology is edging us closer to solving it.
Do we have control over our thoughts?
We are aware of a tiny fraction of the thinking that goes on in our minds, and we can control only a tiny part of our conscious thoughts. The vast majority of our thinking efforts goes on subconsciously. Slips of the tongue and accidental actions offer glimpses of our unfiltered subconscious mental life.
What triggers emotions in the brain?
Amygdala. The amygdala helps coordinate responses to things in your environment, especially those that trigger an emotional response. This structure plays an important role in fear and anger.
How do thoughts happen?
Neurons release brain chemicals, known as neurotransmitters, which generate these electrical signals in neighboring neurons. The electrical signals propagate like a wave to thousands of neurons, which leads to thought formation. One theory explains that thoughts are generated when neurons fire.
How do thoughts become things?

What are thoughts made of in the brain?
What are thoughts made of? They’re really just electro-chemical reactions—but the number and complexity of these reactions make them hard to fully understand… The human brain is composed of about 100 billion nerve cells (neurons) interconnected by trillions of connections, called synapses.
Do you think you can control your thoughts?
When applied to thoughts, it means that you can’t control every thought that comes to your mind, but you can control what you choose to think about and dwell on. If we will live right, we must think right. The development of Christian character requires right thinking.
