The brain and the mind

You can think of your brain as a single, unified organ, but it is not. Frequently, the words brain and mind are used interchangeably, although they do not mean the same thing. In fact, much of what we think of as the mind is located in the outer layer of the brain: the cerebral cortex. The rest of the brain is occupied with basic and vegetative functions and more archaic ways of seeing and interpreting the world around us. 
The brain is divided into two halves, or hemispheres: one right and one left. Each half has equal value and adds different dimensions that tell us what is really “out there”. It is also divided into layers that correspond to different functions: at the bottom we have the back of the brain, also known as the visceral brain; followed by the midbrain, or behavioral brain; and at the top, 
the upper frontal brain, also known.
