My Limbic System

Our brains have a lot of different components. But 3 of the main ones are our amygdala, our hippocampus and our prefrontal cortex. Our amygdala is like the security guard for our brain. It blocks out fear and scary things from getting to our brains. But sometimes things get past it and it goes into our brains. The hippocampus is where when we think about something it goes in there and then after a while gets transferred into our prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex is the mainframe of our brains. The prefrontal cortex is where all of our memories are from a long time back. They are all there but they are just deep in there cramped and full because of all our memories. A memory I still remember is when I was 8 and I was in my car going to a party. Something that I remember my amygdala doing is when I was going to go on a roller coaster the fear snuck past and I got really REALLY scared. That is my blog on My Limbic System.
