 Emotionsthat phenomenon of the bodyare
increasingly being seen through the lens of the brain.
And the body is being given short shrift. That in itself is
not surprising, since neuroscientists are doing the
looking and, by dint of their profession, are concerned
first and foremost with the brain. But the palpable truth
of what happens in our bodies when we're upset, when
we're joyful, when we're lustful, enraged, lonely, guilt-
ridden, surprised, or terrified, is being relegated to an
afterthought. So fascinated are neuroscientists with the
functioning of the brain, they take the operation of the
body as a consequence of brain activity. It's the servant
yoked to its master, the faithful companion.
