1. Thalamus: The brain's communication dispatch hub, routing sensory information (except smell) to other brain areas.
2. Hippocampus: The memory data bank; stores short-term and working memory. Crucial for turning facts into meaningful knowledge. Acts like a personal Wikipedia.
3. Amygdala ("Guard Dog"): The seat of the fear system. Reacts to perceived social or physical threats in less than a second, potentially triggering an "amygdala hijack" (bypassing the thalamus and releasing stress hormones). This stops higher cognitive functions.
4. Neocortex ("Thinking Brain"): The newest and largest part; responsible for executive functions (planning, reasoning, conscious thought, self-regulation, imagination). It has a vast capacity for learning and rewiring.
