Overview of the Brain
The brain is divided into three regions.
A.
The Hindbrain
1.
Sub-Cortex (left hand):

The “OLD BRAIN”, Hindbrain

These structures are the earliest to EVOLVE according to evolutionary
psychologists. The sub-cortex is made up of structures that control our
BASIC needs such as INSTINCTS, EMOTIONS and INVOLUNTARY
responses.
B.
The Midbrain
C.
The Forebrain
1.
Cerebral Cortex(right hand):

The “NEW BRAIN”, Cerebrum

This is the upper, WRINKLED layer of the brain divided into two
HEMISPHERES and four LOBES. The cerebrum is made up of structures
that influence upper level functioning such as LOGIC, LANGUAGE,
LONG-TERM MEMORY and ABSTRACT thought.
