I wonder what the word is tied to.
Only in recent years has there emerged a scientific model of the emotional mind that explains how so much of what we do can be emotionally driven-how we can be so reasonable at one moment and so irrational the next-and the sense in which the emotions have their own reasons and their own logic

I wonder what the word "the sense" is tied to with the coordinate conjunction "and" in front of it. Actually, why does the clause starting with the sense in which... come out in this context?

Answer

"the sense" actually goes back to "explain." The model explains 2 things:
1. how so much of what we do can be emotionally driven
2. the sense in which the emotions have their own reasons and their own logic

so the question becomes: What does the model explain? The sense in which emotions have their own reasons
