No You Dont Have a Reptilian Brain

The video debunks the myth of the reptilian brain, a concept popularized by Paul McClain's triune brain theory. This theory suggested that the human brain evolved in layers, with the basal ganglia (reptilian brain), limbic system (paleo-mammalian brain), and neocortex (neo-mammalian brain) each responsible for different functions. However, modern neuroscience shows that these brain regions do not work independently but rather in a coordinated manner. The video explains that the triune brain theory is outdated and that brain functions are distributed across various interconnected regions.
