Ultimate Brain has several Notion databases at its core. These databases store all of the data you add to your copy of the template, and the pages throughout Ultimate Brain primarily show you useful linked views of these databases.
All databases can be found at the Databases & Components page, which you’ll find at the bottom of the Ultimate Brain Home Page.
This section of the docs contains a complete reference for each database. On each database’s page, you’ll find a technical reference for its properties and a list of pages where it is used.

Database Relation Diagrams
In the diagram below, you can see a map of the databases in Ultimate Brain and its Relation properties.
Bi-directional arrows indicate Relation properties that have the Show on Databases option enabled, creating a reciprocol property in the target database that pairs with the current Relation property.
Uni-directional arrows indicate the opposite – a Relation property that points to another database. You’ll also notice that these arrows point directly to the database to which they connect, rather than an individual property.
