As an aside, I think I might have what may be a hint of an explanation for the last point: the concept of embodied cognition. It postulates that the brain is an interdependant structure dependant on your body not just for basic operation, but also for emotional reactions. In short, no real mind/body dichotomy with a considerable part of our selves including the non-neuron parts of the body.
