You’ve heard about your ‘lizard brain’. But what about the other two?

What's the best way to think about the brain? While most of us think of it as a dense gray matter that’s separate from the physical body, that actually couldn’t be further from the truth. Our brain is actually made up of 3 layers, and each layer not only directly impacts the other, but has control over the physical body and how you feel. Neurologist Robert Sapolsky explores these separate brain systems as individual characters, all with different goals and motives.
The brain comes in 3 functional layers: the reptilian brain, the limbic system, and the cerebral cortex. The reptilian brain controls the regulatory systems in your body like hormones, body temperature, blood pressure, and even hunger. The limbic system is the emotional function of your brain, making you feel fear, anger, joy, or gratitude. Finally, the cerebral cortex is the most evolved part of the brain that oversees impulse control, decision making, and long-term planning.
With a better understanding of how each part of the brain functions, we can have more mindful thoughts that will influence more favorable decision-making and outcomes in life. For example, when you think of your favorite memory or something that makes you happy, your reptilian brain will quickly cool down your body and even lower your blood pressure. This can then lead to feeling less stressed, and finding more joy throughout the day.

Same. I bought Behave and in 2021 I spent a month attempting to literally memorize word for word the Appendix 1: Neuroscience 101 so that I could learn the basics of Neuroscience to eventually apply the lessons from Neuroscience it to Artificial Intelligence. Quite early on, while reading this Appendix about Neuroscience, I realized that something that Robert had written was not correct: that there are roughly ten glial cells for every neuron in the brain. It turns out the ratio is more like 2:1 or 1:1... not 10:1.... this kind of made me think, "well geez, if Robert was wrong about something so potentially important so early on, what else will get wrong in this appendix and in the rest of this book?" It made me want to put down the book right away. But I stuck through it with the assumption that most things that Sapolsky would write in that appendix are correct to the best of Neuroscientists' knowledge for the time the book was published... An assumption that may not be true... Uh....

Nowhere is this more strikingly obvious than in people with mental illnesses, and I think those of us with anxiety have an intrinsic awareness of how our mental and emotional state affects our bodies, because damn if I'm not sitting here in a buttload of pain that I learned to tune out when I was a teenager because my cortisol flooded brain makes the muscles in my body tense 24/7, and I don't remember the last time I didn't have a headache! I can't get rid of the anxiety completely, so I can't get rid of the pain completely either, and the pain often makes my emotional state worse, que the vicious circle 🤷‍♀️

It makes sense why meditation works, and how athletes and soldiers overcome their physical and mental obstacles when they are deemed, 'in the zone', and how some people have survived seemingly insurmountable circumstances. I feel like I just had the entire history of humanity's behavior summed up in an a matter of minutes.

Much as I love Robert Sapolsky's work in general, "The triune brain idea is one of the most successful and widespread errors in all of science” (Lisa Feldman Barrett 2020 - references below). When it was first described by Paul MacLean, as Robert says, in "The Triune Brain in Evolution. Role in Paleocerebral Functions" (1990) it was immediately and robustly critiqued (Reiner 1990). The "neo-cortex" is not new, is not unique to modern humans and does not "regulate" the mythic "emotional brain". Evolutionary neurobiology showed, as long ago as the early 1970s, that human brain development is simply a scaled-up version of all mammalian brain development and that all vertebrates possess the same basic brain regions (Cesario et al 2020). Including reptiles. Despite being ubiquitous, continued use of the triune brain fallacy is not supported by the data - and has important implications for how emotions and agency are conceptualised. For example, the idea that rationality = thinking = the absence of emotion when, in practice, thinking can be profoundly irrational and emotion profoundly rational. Law, economics and much of daily discourse assumes there is a sharp distinction between the rational and the emotional, but this is a story, without foundation in how the brain actually evolved, works and is structured. For those still teaching or otherwise engaging with the triune brain fallacy, I urge you to explore more current neuroscience by research scientists rather than commentators (this is NOT a pop at Robert Sapolsky. It's just that many, maybe most proponeents of the triune brain fallacy are not involved with directly testing the hypothesis). The papers below (and especially Lisa Feldman Barrett's books and KZbin interviews) centre a whole-brain view of our construction of reality. And is supported by ample evidence, unlike the 90's neo-Platonic theory. • Your Brain's Most Important Functions - Dan Pink in Conversation with Lisa Feldman Barrett (2023) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJXQYWmkj6-leKMsi=G7O2nLEnmJOV-aQB • Cesario J, Johnson DJ & Eisthen HL (2020) Your Brain Is Not an Onion With a Tiny Reptile Inside.

The criticism is simply based on (sometimes quite dishonest) misinterpretation of MacLean's ideas. For instance, the very idea that thought is not independent for emotion was actually the origin of his theory. It's called the triune brain, not the tripartite brain. He never said these "parts" were independent, or that they were successively added to one another during evolution without prior basis or that the "reptilian brain" in mammals was the same as in reptiles.

So, when I didn't have the white noise on, my neighbor got angry because they don't like the sound of me in the kitchen. They would typically start yelling as soon as they heard me. Before it actually happened, I already pictured them shouting, and that made my heart beat faster. Surprisingly, I found that I was better at controlling my emotions when I anticipated it rather than when it caught me off guard. when I imagined my neighbor shouting, my limbic system was activated, and I felt my heart racing due to the anticipation of a potentially negative interaction. The neocortex is associated with conscious thought and decision-making, so it was responsible for my ability to imagine and prepare for the event. When I anticipated my neighbor's shouting, my reptilian brain might have triggered a heightened state of arousal, preparing me for a potential threat In this particular situation, despite feeling my heart racing, I discovered that by imagining and anticipating my neighbor's shouting in advance, I was actually better at regulating my emotions. This might be because my neocortex and limbic system were working together, allowing me to mentally prepare and respond in a more controlled manner.

What about the contrast between the Default Mode Network and the Task Positige Network. They seem to be in Part 3 in the description given above. For most people the DMN is default mode (hence the name) of perception and response, while the mind shifts into the TPN unconsciously depending on the focus of attention and action. But training (meditation) can allow the person to select greater involvement of the TPN to guide attention and action.

I'm surprised he doesn't mind referring to it as the Lizard Brain. I like to call it the Nematode Brain, since that's about the time we split off on the evolution arc, prior to the reptiles coming around. It just shows how confident he is with his knowledge, since he clearly sidesteps any of the issues of referring to it as literally a reptilian brain.

Please correct me if I'm not on the right track - Am also reminded of Bernie Siegel's work to help cancer patients heal - Seems he's been able to help people reach past the surface with regard to these systems. Thank you for sharing.

I am but a simple creature - Sabine synthesizes amazing videos and I phagocytose them. 17:40 - About this, a certain show I used to watch expressed it this way: maybe the universe _is_ teeming with life. But we won't find them anytime soon because Earth happens to be out in the space boonies!

It would have helped if the talk was not so "run-on" and had more distinct segments. Visuals that illustrate the concepts would have helped enormously. Some bulleted points would help to focus.

I'm not sure I caught how I can choose to use them differently other than the bio-feedback part. I'm currently reading his book "Determined" and find his views parallel mine. The book is giving me more details to support what I think is true about free-will.
