Where are the brain's receptors?


Where are the brain's receptors? According to Paul MacLean, physicist and neuroscientist, our brain is divided into three subsystems resulting from years of human evolution: the reptilian brain, the limbic brain and the neocortex. The reptilian brain or Paleocephalus is located in the cerebral trunk and causes reactive and instinctive actions. The limbic brain is the callous body that covers the thalamus, and is the one that generates changes interacting with the hormonal system and autonomic nervous system. The limbic brain causes reactions due to emotions and is what gives us the motivation for survival. -Cert parts of the basal ganglia, located at the base of the brain, are activated with reward and reinforcement. -Mattest it, in the central base of the brain, evaluates the emotional value of the stimuli. It is the most associated part with reactions to fear. -Hotothalamus, located on the amygdala, regulates responses to emotions, such as acceleration in breathing or increased blood pressure. -The ampocamp, located behind the amygdala, transforms memory in the short term into long-term memory and helps to recover stored memory, which tells you how to respond to the world around you, including how your emotional responses are . Neocortex, the outer part of the brain, is the one that controls emotions and cognitive abilities. This generates, modifies and regulates a large number of interneuronal connections and makes us aware of our emotions, allowing us to control them, but we do not eliminate them. -The orbitofrontal cortex, in the frontal part of the brain, responds to positive experiences and is thought to play a role in evaluating reward against punishment. In this image, the stimulus receptor process and the parties involved in each phase are schematically structured

Method

To prove our experiment, every day we have to take care of our plants: We take the plants that listen to stronger music at the same time as the plants that receive the insults and put on their' music while we insult the other two. Then, we do the same with the ones that listen to softer music and the ones that receive compliments. Then, we take a picture to track the plant's growth.
