The Three Main Parts of the Brain
The Amygdala
(uh-MIG-duh-luh)
Fight, Flight or Fright
Feeling frightened? Upset? It is your amygdala that is on alert. It regulated and blocks information from going to your prefrontal cortex (PFC).

Prefrontal Cortex
(pree-FRUN-tuhl-KOR-teks)
The Planner
The prefrontal cortex uses important information to focus, decide, compute, analyze, and reason. But it only gets information when it is CALM! Then, it passes information worth remembering on to the Hippocampus
Hippocampus
(hih-puh-KAM-puhs)

The Keeper of Memories
The hippocampus creates, stores, and processes and important facts and memories.
