Brain Processing Organization

The brain is considered to develop along three vertical planes and contains five functional units.
The three planes consist of the brain stem, mid brain and cortex.

The five functional systems are: arousal unit, primary motor and sensory areas, secondary sensory and motor areas, tertiary sensory input area and tertiary output/planning unit. The brain matures and develops each functional system within key developmental age brackets.
