The limbic system is an important part of our brain that helps us deal with emotions and remember things. But it can also make decision-making and our behavior more complicated in a few ways:

1. Emotional Bias: When we feel strong emotions, like anger or sadness, it can make it hard to think clearly. This often leads us to make unpredictable choices.

2. Memory Influence: Our past experiences can shape how we see things now. Sometimes, this can cause us to act in ways that don’t make sense.

3. Stress Response: If the limbic system is too active, it can stop us from thinking logically.

Solutions:

• Learning how to manage our emotions can help reduce these problems.
• Using techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy can change how we think about negative memories, leading to better decisions.
