ABSTRACT
Acknowledging intimacy is a crucial factor in brain development. The formation of identity and personality is just as much an expression of brain development that evolves through our parental influence. The brain is divided into a left and a right hemisphere. As the numerous connections between the brain’s many sections are established, the child develops the ability to co-ordinate messages and experiences from various sections of the brain. The brain is shaped by strong emotional experiences, on the basis of which its structure is formed. All the major differences that separate us from our closest relative, the chimpanzee, and everything else in the animal kingdom, are contained in our brain. “The emotional brain”, where all our feelings, sensations, and experiences are co-ordinated and stored, is developed from birth in the right frontal lobe. The large cogwheel represents the brain’s alternative pattern of response, when there is no danger.
