    American Military University LEFT BRAIN VS. RIGHT BRAIN: IMPACTS ON LEARNING 2 Abstract This paper explores the wide variety of attributes that each hemisphere in your brain has. Not only will the process of lateralization will be touched but also why lateralization of the brain affects each and every single human being in different learning styles and a different processing speeds of learning. Memory due to split-brain surgery and damage to the brain will also be a huge factor to why

    (“disorganized”) and simple subtypes. If the patient does not fit into any subtype‚ then the patient will be characterized as having “undifferentiated” schizophrenia. An important focus in the study of schizophrenia has been the abnormal lateralization; since‚ cerebral asymmetries reflect normal developmental processes (Crow‚ T.J.‚ Colter‚ N.‚ Frith‚ CD.‚ Johnstone‚ E.C. & Owens‚ D.G.C.‚ 1989) there have been lesser anatomical and functional asymmetries in patients with schizophrenic symptoms than

    Psychology chapter three vocabulary nervous system‚ a collection of hundreds of billions of specialized and interconnected cells through which messages are sent between the brain and the rest of the body. The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (CNS)‚ made up of the brain and the spinal cord‚ and the peripheral nervous system (PNS)‚ the neurons that link the CNS to our skin‚ muscles‚ and glands. And we will see that our behavior is also influenced in large part by the endocrine
