In contrast, thinking fast-which manifests in our emotions, stress arousal, habits, and basic survival-is performed by our survival brain , the evolutionarily older limbic system, brain stem, and cerebellum. (psychologytoday.com)
This is totally wrong, the limbic system has priority in the organization of information from the stimuli on the neocortex, it can work autonomously, so that an individual can behave similarly to an amphibian, reptile or fish, without the need to think and even be evolutionarily successful. (buda.blog)
The limbic cortex , located around the corpus callosum, is a transition zone, since information is exchanged between the neocortex and subcortical structures of the limbic system. (buda.blog)
Evolutionarily, the emotional brain called the limbic system developed very much earlier when our ancestors were reptiles than the neocortex, the so-called logical brain which developed very recently when we became homo sapiens. (storymirror.com)
He was happy and hesitantly said sorry to his wife, understanding that his frustration and anger were due to the hijacked neocortex by the overwhelming power of the limbic system. (storymirror.com)
This requires an elementary understanding of the brain and the interaction especially between the limbic system (Mid brain) and the prefrontal cortex (Neocortex or 'smart' brain). (edwardgifford.com)
Cerebellum1
In contrast, the feedforward, evolutionarily-conserved circuitry of the cerebellum is thought to be optimized for learning sensorimotor relationships and error-based adaptation of movements. (ens.fr)
Hippocampus3
The hippocampus receives input from sensory areas and from the rest of the neocortex and, along with other structures deep within the temporal lobes, such as the rhinal cortex, is essential for conversion of short-term to long-term memory. (natural-universe.net)
The mammalian telencephalon, which comprises the cerebral cortex, olfactory bulb, hippocampus, basal ganglia (striatum and globus pallidum), and amygdala, is a highly complex and evolutionarily advanced brain structure. (intechopen.com)
The human neocortex is roughly three times bigger than that of our closest relatives, the chimpanzees, and is the seat of many of the higher cognitive functions that are unique to humans, such as our speech or the ability to learn. (biotechnology.report)
The Triune theory suggests that the neocortex plays a critical role in higher-order cognitive functions. (neurofied.com)
We found nominally significant polygenic enrichment of associations with college completion (p = 0.025), educational attainment (p = 0.043) and general cognitive ability (p = 0.015 and 0.025, respectively), suggesting that variants influencing these phenotypes are more prevalent in evolutionarily salient regions. (nature.com)
Sensitivity to numbers is a crucial and evolutionarily conserved cognitive ability. (biorxiv.org)
Prefrontal1
For example, it has been shown that single neurons in the prefrontal and posterior parietal neocortices for humans 17 , 18 and primates 19 spontaneously respond to specific numerosity. (biorxiv.org)
Development3
Matthew Kraushar, Dept. of Bioinformation, MPI of Molecular Genetics, Berlin: Protein synthesis in neocortex development: from near-atomic resolution to the translatome. (mpg.de)
Especially in Homo sapiens, the central nervous system and the consequent development of the neocortex are seen as the crowning glory of human evolution. (fieldofscience.com)
There is a general hypothesis that large brains such as those of bears were evolutionarily driven by the development of culture--bodies of knowledge shared among individuals and passed down through the generations. (allgrizzly.org)
Older2
The cingulate cortex is an evolutionarily older cortex below the neocortex and is part of the mesocortex . (natural-universe.net)
Dr. Krauzlis' research has revealed that advanced functions of the primate brain typically associated with the neocortex are built on top of evolutionarily older brain systems rather than developed de novo. (nih.gov)
Regions1
Minicolumns are basic architectonic and physiological elements identified in all regions of the neocortex and in all mammalian species thus far evaluated. (autismone.org)
Human evolution2
During human evolution, the neocortex, the evolutionarily youngest part of the cerebral cortex, expanded dramatically and had to fold into wrinkles to fit inside the restricted space of the skull. (biotechnology.report)
Within the Triune model, these three areas have evolved successively, with the reptilian complex being the oldest one (over 100 million years old), followed by the paleomammalian complex (at least 50 million years old) and the neocortex (2,5 to 3,5 million years old). (neurofied.com)
With this approach, she will address four questions that have been challenging to answer with experiments or traditional circuit modeling: 1) how cerebellar and motor cortical representations co-emerge during learning, 2) how cerebellar adaptation reshapes motor representations in the neocortex, 3) the impact of cerebello-cortical scaling on complex behaviours, and 4) the role of cerebellar adaptation in cognition.

Highly1
The circadian clock is an evolutionarily, highly conserved feature of most organisms. (researchgate.net)
Relative2
The degree of male intra-sexual selection was not correlated with relative neocortex size, which instead was significantly positively correlated with female social group size, but negatively correlated with male group size. (biomedcentral.com)
Relative to other carnivores, this is evidenced by the comparatively large size of their brains and, of that mass, the comparatively large size of the frontal cortex and neocortex. (allgrizzly.org)
Functions1
It is so called because its key functions are evolutionarily comparable to… well… a lizard. (ethicalnaturist.com)
