Last time, we talked about the possibility of alien lifeforms having Reptilian Intelligence under the Triune Brain model due to the R-complex dominating their brain instead of the Neocortex as is the case with us, humans. But what if conditions on other worlds were such that the limbic brain, rather than the Neocortex, came to represent the highest level of brain development? What would the behavior and mentality of such aliens be like? Today we will explore the possibility of alien lifeforms in the universe that have acquired what we would call Limbic Intelligence! So, let’s dive right in and explore the mentality of aliens dominated by the limbic system!
The limbic system, which overlays the reptilian brain in humans, appears to generate strong, vivid emotions of various kinds. This is the seat of the endocrine glandular system, which is governed by the pituitary or "master gland." The amygdala, which is a subsidiary gland, is known to regulate aspects of fear, aggression, and attack behavior. Hormones released into the bloodstream by the hypothalamus and thalamus control diverse functions such as hunger and thirst, attention span and anxiety, and visual retention.
