Zusammenfassung

Bei uns Menschen ist die Großhirnrinde viel stärker entwickelt als bei allen anderen Säugetieren. Dank des sehr großen Frontallappens unseres Gehirns können wir bewusst denken und planen und uns damit eine Existenz schaffen, die ganz und gar unserem bewussten Willen zu unterliegen scheint. Bei anderen Säugetieren werden nicht nur die Körperfunktionen, sondern auch das Verhalten – beispielsweise im Rahmen der unterschiedlichsten Beziehungen – überwiegend durch unbewusste Prozesse gesteuert, die in älteren Hirnarealen lokalisiert sind.
