The Forebrain
Captions available
The idea
The forebrain contains the cerebral cortex and the subcortical structures beneath it, and handles complex thought and emotion.
In practice
Planning next week's schedule engages forebrain structures throughout, with no hindbrain equivalent.
Where people slip
The forebrain is not where behavior is produced. It is where behavior is shaped before other systems execute it.
