One question that was posed in class on Thursday that I continue to wonder about is whether emotions are outputs. If I feel sad, is that an output of or input to my nervous system, or both? How is the reafferent loop related to emotions?

On a completely different note, I am curious as to whether the idea of a "motor symphony" be extended a bit...In class, we talked about how a motor symphony allows us to perform everyday actions like picking up a coffee mug or opening a door handle. Are motor symphonies also related to thoughts/patterns of thinking? Does thinking have a "motor" component? Do people tend to think/process and analyze information in specific ways based on stored motor scores? Is education in any way responsible for helping us form "scores"?
