As you read this, you are using your thinking brain. Your thinking brain is responsible for many functions that we take for granted; language, logic, arithemetic and memory to name a few. The part of the brain that is most associated with these functions is the neocortex of the left part of the brain. A few of these functions also require collaboration with the right brain (see The Artistic Brain). To find out more about the thinking brain, explore the links below.
