Understanding How the Brain Thinks
The brain is made up of billions of cells and these cells work together to create thoughts and emotions. The brain is also able to process information quickly and make decisions.
To understand how the brain thinks, understand first the different parts of the brain. The brainstem is located in the brain and is responsible for controlling the body’s organs and functions. The frontal lobe is located in the frontal region of the brain and is responsible for controlling thinking, emotions, and behavior. The cerebellum helps control movement and balance. The hippocampus is responsible for remembering information.
The brain has five lobes which are responsible for processing information: the frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes. The different parts of the brain work together to create thoughts and emotions. Thoughts are created by the frontal lobe and are based on logic and reason. Emotions are created by the frontal lobe and are based on feeling. Behavior is created by the temporal lobe and is based on instinct and reaction. The cerebellum control movement and balance and the hippocampus help remember information.
There are different types of memories that the brain can hold. These memories can be short-term or long-term. Short-term memories are stored in the hippocampus, used for planning and organizing tasks. Long-term memories are stored in the temporal lobe and are used for solving problems and remembering memories.
