      I think the brain is more powerful in telling us what we do and don’t like. I do believe that your heart can confirm what you like. My heart starts beating faster when i see David Beckham on the T.V

      No, the heart is just a mechanical pump that keeps the blood circulating. The brain is the memory store and it’s linked to a large number of sensors throughout the body. The electrical pulse from the sensors forces the brain to decide if it likes it or dislikes it.

      No, the heart is an organ which pumps our blood around allowing us to give energy to all of the cells in our bodies so they can live and do their jobs to keep us living. the Brain stores our memories, likes and dislikes. These things (memories and preferences) are mainly controlled by the left side of your brain.

      The heart doesn’t store peoples memories, like and dislikes but the brain does! We often like or dislike something because of an emotion we attach to it..like we might like a person because they make us laugh :). and the brain controls our emotions. the heart does respond to our emotions though..like when you like someone or yuou are scared and your heart starts beating faster!

      I’m afraid that that’s all stored in the brain. How unromantic…
