You have learned the triune brain model to understand the hierarchy of the brain functions, such as the primitive brain, a.k.a reptilian brain--it is the guardian of our survival its goal is to make sure we stay alive and reproduce. Also the limbic system a.k.a emotional brain is the chain of warehouses where our emotional memories are stored, which helps us to learn from our past experiences.
