This article presents a new perspective on the structure and function of the human brain, grounded in the Sociobiological Informational Theory (SIT). The SIT offers a conceptual framework that integrates the biological, social, and cultural dimensions of brain activity, challenging traditional anatomical and physiological explanations. A visual synthesis of the lateral aspects of both cerebral hemispheres is proposed, where the neocortex is seen as the conscious system and the paleocortex as the unconscious system. This approach moves beyond classical models, which focus solely on anatomical structures, and instead emphasizes the dynamic and structured nature of brain activity. The article argues that understanding the brain in isolation from the nervous system, history, culture, and economy is insufficient. Therefore, the SIT promotes a rethinking of neurohistology, neuroanatomy, and neurophysiology, proposing a shift from the static view of the brain as derived from classical anatomy to a more dynamic and coherent understanding of the living person. This alternative explanation of brain structure opens new avenues for interdisciplinary dialogue, encouraging the exploration of how consciousness, personality, and society are interconnected.
