Resumen
Las personas cada vez son más conscientes de la importancia que tienen todas las emociones, incluidas las positivas, que permiten mejorar la calidad de vida. El bienestar es un estado emocional positivo referente a la sensación de satisfacción y tranquilidad con uno mismo y con el exterior. Contiene al bienestar subjetivo que es la valoración general que realiza el individuo sobre su vida y al psicológico que alude al desarrollo personal, preferentemente.
Para identificar las bases neurobiológicas que se activan en presencia de este bienestar, se realiza un recorrido desde las estructuras y neurotransmisores o neuropéptidos principales implicados, hasta llegar a los diversos estudios que han empleado técnicas como la Resonancia Magnética Funcional o la Tomografía Por Emisión de Positrones entre otras. Se ha demostrado que existen zonas diferenciadas, algunas de las más relevantes han sido la Corteza Prefrontal y la Corteza de la Ínsula Anterior en el hemisferio izquierdo.
People are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of all emotions, including positive ones, that improve the quality of life. Well-being is a positive emotional state concerning the feeling of satisfaction and tranquility with yourself and with the outside. It contains the subjective well-being that is the general assessment that the individual makes about his life and the psychological that alludes to personal development, preferably. To identify the neurobiological bases that are activated in the presence of this well-being, a path is made from the structures and neurotransmitters or main neuropeptides involved, until reaching the various studies that have used techniques such as Functional Magnetic Resonance or Positron Emission Tomography, among others. It has been shown that there are differentiated zones, some of the most relevant have been the Prefrontal Cortex and the Cortex of the Anterior Insula in the left hemisphere.
