This talk explores the way that parts of the brain influence behaviour and thinking.
Behaviour and Personility
This talk starts by with describing how the ‘old’ parts of our brain drive our basic behaviour and emotions like hunger, thirst, happiness, sadness and sex. It also explains how the ‘new’ parts of our brain can modify these basic drives and produce our most sophisticated skills, thinking and personality.
