I couldn't have said it better than clishe...
but Ill flap my trap anyway.
The idea of it being a "reptilian" brain is because it is a structure that we share with reptiles. (actually its most of what the reptiles have) It's mostly concerned with the basics of keeping you running from day to day. That is dealing with low level input (i.e. pain), low level output (i.e. swallowing) and simple motivations (i.e. hunger) Stuff you just can't do without if you want to keep your meat sack running about.
