[Integration the Highest Function of Brain as the Basis of Cognition]

Abstract

Based on the process needs, motivations and emotions, are describing molecular, cellular and systemic mechanisms of goal-direction motivated behavior. Goal-direction behavior is impossible without the orientation in space and forming a cognitive map. This process implements the hippocampus, via the neocortical connections. The hippocampus is linked to the amygdala, which is involved in the implementation of emotional behavior and organizing emotionally intense cognitive map or context of the environment.
