"One must feel sorry for those who have strange tastes‚ but never insult them. Their wrong is Nature’s too; they are no more responsible for having come into the world with tendencies unlike ours than are we for being born bandy-legged or well-proportioned". Marquis de Sade (1740-1814)‚ "Dialogue the Fifth" (1795). If who we are and what we do originates in the brain‚ than the structure of and the occurrences therein can explain for our entire catalogue of personalities and behaviors. However

Localization refers to the specific area of the brain that is responsible for a specific function. In the 1960s‚ Roger Sperry and his colleagues experimented with the split brain to determine each hemispheres function‚ this knowledge had previously been undiscovered and he went on to receive a Nobel Prize in 1981. A split brain is a scenario in which the Corpus Callosum connecting the two hemispheres of the brain is severed to some degree meaning the hemispheres cannot work in correlation with

How Can The Study Of Aftereffects Tell Us About How The Brain Processes Visual Information? The motion & tilt aftereffect (MTAE; Gibson & Radner‚ 1999) is a simple but intriguing visual phenomenon. After staring at a pattern of tilted lines or gratings‚ subsequent lines appear to have a slight tilt in the opposite direction. The effect resembles an afterimage from staring at a bright light‚ but it represents changes in orientation perception rather than in color or brightness. Most modem

Are the brains of men and women specialized in different ways to achieve the same capabilities? Many studies are showing that the brains of men and women may be specialized in different ways to achieve the same capabilities. An example of this would be a man’s brain using one part of the brain to accomplish a task and a woman’s brain accomplishing the same task with another part of the brain. Based on the text I believe that the brains of men and women are specialized in different ways. One example
