Are intense emotions, like fear located in the mind or the body? It seems that you feel fear fist in your gut and then later you decide if it is fear or just gas. For example, if I see a lion, I don't think there is a lion, maybe I should run, I get the message or my legs get the message as does my gut. It is only later that my neocortex says," WOW! that was a lion." Does that mean that people who don't have normal body functions, say a quadriplegic, don't feel fear? Surely they do. But how do they react to it? How do they feel it if they can't feel?
