Emotions are one of the fundamental aspects of human experience, influencing behavior, decision-making, and overall quality of life. This study examines how emotions are encoded in the brain through hormonal processes and whether consciousness can modify these hormonal effects. Scientific research indicates that neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, cortisol, and oxytocin play crucial roles in emotional regulation. Additionally, cognitive studies suggest that consciousness can alter emotional responses and reshape emotional memories. This paper presents a new model in which emotions are not merely the result of hormonal activity in the brain but are actively modulated by consciousness, which regulates their intensity and nature. The findings of this study could provide a basis for novel therapeutic approaches to managing anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation.
