React, Respond and Realization: Brain Presentaion

~Saranya and Ranjith

I learnt about three brain. Which is,

• Reptilian Brain
• Limbic Brain
• Neocortex Brain

Reptilian Brain:

• It controls the body’s vital functions such as heart rate, breathing, body temperature and balance.
• Main structures found in reptilian brain is two:

1. Brainstem 2. cerebellum

Limbic Brain:

• It’s emerged in the first mammals.
• It record memories of behaviours that produced agreeable and disagreeable experiences, so it is responsible for what are called emotions in human beings.
• The main structures of the limbic brain are the hippocampus, the amygdala, and the hypothalamus.
• The limbic brain is the seat of the value judgments that we make, often unconsciously, that exert such a strong influence on our behaviour.

Neocortex Brain:

• The neocortex first assumed importance in primates and culminated in the human brain with its two large cerebral hemispheres that play such a dominant role.
• These hemispheres have been responsible for the development of human language, abstract thought, imagination, and consciousness. The neocortex is flexible and has almost infinite learning abilities.
• The neocortex is also what has enabled human culturesto develop.
