    The document discusses the Triune Brain Theory which divides the human brain into three parts - the reptilian brain, limbic system, and neo cortex. The reptilian brain handles basic functions. The limbic system is responsible for emotions and emotional learning. The neo cortex is divided into left and right hemispheres, with the left handling logical thinking and the right handling creative thinking.
