Brain Arhitecture
Our brain architecture is made out of two big components:
- Brainsteam and Limbic System. This system is all about learning by repetition and association.
- Cerebral Cortex is the outer layer of neural tissue of the cerebrum of the brain in humans and it mostly consists of the six-layered neocortex. This part of the brain is responsible for complex processes ( self-control, self-learning ), logical thinking and also for taking rational decisions.
