There is also, in our inner ear, the vestibular system that helps detect balance and position.
These give rise to proprioception, the ability to sense how our body is currently arranged, and which parts are going where. Humans have a sophisticated array of senses and neurological mechanisms. If one were to dissect the brain on an evolutionary time scale the reptilian brain came first and later, the neo-cortex. One of the most important developmental area is the area named neo-cortex. With survival related problems having been taken care of, the human brain developed several new areas as compared to its ancestors. from raw food to cooked food, the size of the brain increased, which in turn made humans seek out more sophisticated types of food. As the nature of food consumption changed, i.e. However the nature and size of the human brain has undergone rapid changes in the recent past.
The reptilian brain comprises Cerebellum and and the Brain Stem. The brain’s function was to ensure survival of the body and hence most of the functions of the brain were akin to that of a reptile, and hence the term reptilian brain. The human brain has evolved over several thousands of years. How the brain regulates the body, and usually makes a mess of things The book talks about some of the every day common experiences we have and ties it back to the structure of our brain and the way it functions. The main purpose of the book is to show that the human brain is fallible and imperfect despite the innumerable accomplishments that it has bestowed upon us. Also, the author is pretty certain that some of the claims made in the book would become obsolete very quickly, given the rapid developments happening in the field of brain sciences.
one in which the reader spends a few hours on the book and realizes that it as a waste of time. The author profoundly apologizes to the reader on a possible scenario, i.e. The preface of the book is quite interesting too. These aspects ultimately result in an illogical display of human tendencies – in the way we think, the way we feel and the way we act. This book is a fascinating adventure into all the aspects of the brain that are messy and chaotic. The book is 300 pages long and full credit goes to the author for making the book so interesting.In this post, I will attempt to summarize the contents of the book. It took me more time to write the summary than to read the book. I stumbled on this book on my way to Yangon and devoured the book with in a few hours.
