In his in-depth lecture, Mr. Zhu first introduced parents to the formation of the human brain. He gave an inside look to the workings of the brain and deconstructed, in detail, the division of labor among different brain regions. In the brain, the reptilian brain (thalamus) is responsible for human primitive impulses which is a low-level operating system. The mammalian brain is in charge of community relations from which human emotions and troublesome feelings come. What distinguishes humans from other mammals is the full development of our prefrontal lobe, which helps humans actively explore and create new worlds and even directly affects physical health and longevity. Mr. Zhu focused on the prefrontal brain region, which is responsible for human association, controlling muscles and expressions as well as for learning, selection and expression. It helps us deal with various external pressures with composure and opens up new opportunities independently and autonomously. The prefrontal lobe carries the base of human creative and innovative behavior. At the same time, human achievement and happiness are derived from this brain area.
When a person is faced with challenges and stress, the brain region with the stronger signal is preferentially chosen for dominant feedback. Whether one chooses the frontal brain for creative thinking, the lactating brain for feedback with submissiveness, or the reptilian brain for fear and violence determines completely different personality traits. If we keep stimulating associative and creative thinking, the more developed the frontal brain will be, thus suppressing the activity signals from the other two brain regions, and vice versa.
