There are three important parts of our brains:the prefrontal cortex,hippocampus and the amygdala.First I am going to talk about the prefrontal cortex.The prefrontal cortex helps make decisions.We need it for high level processing.Our prefrontal cortex matures at the age of 18-21 years.Once I had to make a decision using my prefrontal cortex.I was deciding if I should buy an ancient origins pokemon pack or a breakthrough booster pack.I ended up picking ancient origins!The next thing I am going to talk about is the hippocampus.It is the part of our brain that has your memory or something you learned.And is linked to the prefrontal cortex.I am glad i have a hippocampus or else I could not remember anything.And last but not least:the amygdala.The amygdala is the part of our brain that keeps all of our emotions.Like if your happy or afraid (E.T.C.).That is our limbic system!
