The Triune Brain in Evolution: Role in Paleocerebral Functions
by P.D. Maclean
In 'The Triune Brain in Evolution,' P.D. MacLean investigates the triune brain model's role in paleocerebral functions. The work traces the evolutionary origins of brain structures, explaining their influence on behavior, emotions, and cognition across species. It offers a foundational perspective on neuroevolution and human neurology.
About This Book
The Triune Brain in Evolution examines the concept of the triune brain, a model proposing three evolutionary layers in the human brain: the reptilian complex, the paleomammalian brain, and the neomammalian brain.
Author P.D. MacLean explores how these structures contribute to paleocerebral functions, linking evolutionary biology to behavioral patterns observed in humans and other species.
This book provides insights into the neurological basis of emotions, instincts, and higher cognition, drawing from comparative anatomy and neurophysiology.
Through detailed analysis, it highlights the interplay between ancient brain components and modern human experiences.
