TRIUNE BRAIN: The limbic brain is a big part of the seventeen magazine. It tunes into the female readers emotions by having articles about "body peace" for those with self esteem issues (which according to this magazine every teen female has them!), intense articles about escaping an attack, and even has stories of being cheated on by guys. Also, the limbic mind processes images and there are a lot of those featured in this magazine!

The reptillian brain is also used effectively, there are recepies for eating, a sex ed portion and pictures of hunky guys for mating, an article about girl fights for fighting, and an article about escaping an attack for flighting!
