> Why We Believe What We Believe: > > > Negative states stimulate intensive limbic activity, and this causes the hippocampus to embed the experience into long-term emotional memory. Pleasant experiences, however, do not trigger as strong a connection. That is why they are harder to remember than unpleasant ones... if you stay in a negative state for an extended period of time, the stress chemical will physically damage and atrophy different parts of your brain, such as the hippocampus. Over time, you might even lose your ability to return to a calm, peaceful state. Then your emotions, not your logic and reasoning, will predominate.
