Benefiting at work from Brain Based Insights

Check out an amazing map of your mind and see magical resources that can make or break your day – at  MSNBC’s Interactive Mind Map.

1. Notice how the corpus callosum links your two brain hemispheres. There are huge differences in men’s and women’s corpus callosum – which is why we think and lead differently.

2. See the ofactory bulb where smell originates in your brain, and its location will likely explain how aromas at times affect memory and moods.

3. Check out the anterior cingulated gyrus … your attention manager to see where your brain helps you focus and stay on track until a work is completed.

4. Locate the thalamus, deep in the central area of the brain, where your sensory switchboard operates.

5. Notice the hypothalamus, where your internal regulator resides.

6. Don’t forget to check out the amygdala, which holds and controls your primal emotions.

7. See the hippocampus, which is another word for your memory’s manager.

8. Finally, notice your basal ganglia, which files your automatic movement control and habits that come without much thought.

No wonder the 100 billion neurons that complete the human brain make it the greatest organ you could ever own. Is yours ... for the most part ... working for or against you?
