From reptile brain to emotional brain to cognitive brain
Ever heard of the triune brain theory that divides our brain into three layers: the reptilian, limbic, and neocortex? This popular idea suggests our brains evolved in three distinct stages, with each layer controlling different aspects of our behavior. But what if we told you this theory is actually wrong?
In this video, we dive deep into the history and science behind the triune brain theory, originally proposed by Paul MacLean in the mid-20th century. We explore why this theory gained traction, how it simplifies our understanding of human behavior, and why modern neuroscience has debunked it.
Key points covered include:
- Plato's ancient ideas about the three inner forces in our brains.
- The evolution of brain regions from our reptilian ancestors to modern humans.
- Why the triune brain theory is appealing but inaccurate.
- The true nature of brain evolution based on genetic and molecular evidence.
- How similar the developmental processes are across different species, despite the apparent differences in brain structures.
Join us as we unravel the complexities of brain evolution and discover that our brains, while incredibly advanced, are not as unique as we once thought. Learn why rationality and emotions are not confined to separate brain parts and how understanding this can change our perspective on human behavior.

Great stuff!

[@divyanshsareen69420]

The frog man at 0:12 though

[@neuro_mastery]

The frog man controls the frog force XD

[@clumsiegrace6156]

really cool image of different brains 😍

[@neuro_mastery]

its interesting to see all these differently shaped brains!
