Location of Intuition

 

Can you help me understand more about intuition? Like, where is it in the brain?

 Intuition can be described as an instinctive sensation about something. Intuition is believed linked with the right frontal lobe. All undamaged human brains are believed to contain the mental faculty of intuition. However, it may be a bit like a sense of humor, which is also linked with the right frontal love. Meaning, that function is present, but it typically needs to be honed. The female brain is believed to have a sixth sense of intuitive knowing because of the global way in which their brains are wired. According to neuroscientist Beatrice de Gelder, PhD, humans all process things that they’re not consciously aware of—it’s a sensation of ‘knowing.’ Because humans are also so dependent on a sense of sight, they are not used to trusting their internal intuitive vision track. Joy Hirsch, PhD, director of the fMRI Research Center at Columbia University Medical Center has been reported as saying, “If you find yourself in a situation where you feel nervous, your brain may have spotted a reason for concern without you even knowing it. Pay attention to the sensation.” It can be life-saving.
