Over decades there has been extensive research done by psychologists proving that in fact our brain works in two different ways. Researchers have discovered that the two sides of the brain work hand in hand with each other‚ and that one cannot function with

Left Brain vs. Right Brain Victoria J.Overpeck COLL100 American Military University Derrah Cassidy Left Brain vs. Right Brain How do you know if you’re left brain‚ or right brain dominate? How can you tell which side of the brain you use to learn? Do you think that it’s inherited? Throughout many studies it has been discovered that every person uses either the left or the right side of their brain to learn and obtain information more than the other. Each side of your

The relationship between handedness and hemispheric dominance? By Isaac Somerton This study was conducted to find a relationship between handedness and hemispheric dominance. The participants in this investigation were all year 11 students in psychology 1A/B at Greenwood College. The data collected by the survey sheet was put into a table then graphed into two separate graphs; one graph for left and the other for right hemisphere dominance. The results that were found rejected the hypothesis of

The brain‚ unlike the heart is the most important part of the body‚ it weighs up to three pounds and comprises the hefty cerebrum‚ cerebellum‚ and the brainstem. The cerebrum which is the largest portion performs all higher cognitive functions. The cerebellum is responsible for motor functions‚ such as the coordination of movement and balance. The brain stem is dedicated to involuntary functions such as breathing. The brain is comprised of the cerebrum‚ cerebellum‚ and brain stem The largest part

The Tell-Tale Brain The book‚ The Tell-Tale brain explains how humans are unique in the world. This uniqueness stems from the brain we humans possess. The human brain has evolved according to 2 different methods. The first‚ most commonly known‚ is biological evolution. This type of evolution is slow and can take centuries for a single‚ subtle change to appear. While the second‚ is the cultural evolution. This type is fast compared to biological evolution. These two evolutionary processes gave birth

The idea that the left and right brain exhibits different pattern of thought has caught the public attention and have inspired several educational theories‚ notably “Eight ways of knowing” by David Lazear‚ and numerous other self-help books. Hopefully at the end of this paper we all will have a better understanding about the left and right brain and when trauma is introduce to it‚ how it implicates the learning process and how rehabilitation can help families and patient cope with the issues at hand

cats with split brain experiment this had similar results to Gazzaniga. “If the sensory inputs are lateralized to one or the other hemisphere‚ the section of these commissures in cats and monkeys (split-brain) leaves the hemisphere functionally disconnected in such a way that they have independent process of learning and memory” (Mascetti p. 913). The experiment had to do with cats and how the split-brain can affect their learning and memory style by switching which side of the brain they are using

trimethylxanthine‚ a naturally occurring chemical stimulant. The formula for caffeine is C8H10N4O2. It shares several traits with famous drugs like amphetamines‚ cocaine and heroin. It uses the same biochemical mechanisms as these drugs to stimulate brain function. Caffeine has its benefits‚ but it also has several draw backs. In this paper‚ we will explore these and come up with an answer to “is it worth it?” Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) is an energy-bearing molecule found in all living cells. ATP

Based on this article by Sandeep Ravindran titled “A Squirt of Stem Cell Gel Heals Brain Injuries‚” it can be inferred in Sandeep’s thesis that it is just a matter of time. But in my opinion‚ this article does not provide concrete data that show how progressive and successful the treatment is‚ which makes this article

The Brain is said to be the center of the nervous system of the human being. Brain consists of four main structural divisions or lobes. They are: frontal‚ parietal‚ occipital and temporal. All lobes carry particular function and dysfunction of any can bring the person serious troubles.I will describe four lobes of the brain‚ as well as identify how these lobes relate to psychological functions. Frontal Lobes Frontal lobes are responsible for reasoning‚ planning‚ movements‚ emotions‚ parts of speech
