A team of researchers led by Paul MacLean at the National Institute of Health has synthesized the work on the brain done by themselves and several major research centers. They have developed a construct of three brains or neurological systems in humans that act vertically and as an integrated unit similar to the interaction we have already seen in our behavior and value structures. Charles Krone has developed a set of intelligences and processes for developing them that correlate directly to these brains. (Krone: 1993) These structures gives us a scientific, psychological, and even physiological base for understanding the functioning of our behavior and values.
Our brain is composed of three parts, literally organized in three segments. Part of this triune design of our brain structure is shared with reptiles, and part with mammals. The third part is shared partially with higher mammals, e.g. primates, but within the third part is a smaller though distinctively important part that…
