Five regions of the brain, five very different jobs, all working together every day whether you're thinking about it or not.
1. Your prefrontal cortex plans and puts the brakes on impulse.
2. Your amygdala scans for threats, sometimes too eagerly.
3. Your hippocampus holds memory and helps your stress response actually shut off.
4. Your anterior cingulate cortex catches errors and shifts your attention.
5. And your sensorimotor cortex is where neurofeedback research started, training a still body paired with an alert mind.
If any of it sounds like it's running a little off, a Brain Map can show you what your own patterns actually look like.
