According to our Neuroscience Advisor, Clive Hyland, it is possible to see the parallels between rooms in the Caplor House model and the four main areas of the brain:

  • Activity in the Kitchen parallels the basal system, the region of instincts

  • Activity in the Family Room parallels the limbic system, the region of feelings

  • Activity in the Library parallels the cortex, the region of thinking

  • Activity in the Observatory parallels the prefrontal cortex, the region of purpose and meaning.
