Are left handed people smarter than right handed people? Being left handed was sometimes stigmatized as an abnormality because very few humans are left handed. Ten percent of the world is made up of left handed people‚ that means there could be about 700 million left handed individuals all around the world. Handedness displays a complex inheritance pattern and involves several genetic factors. Therefore if one or more person in the family is left handed then that gene will pass and give

Hemispheric specialization‚ testing only one side of the brain by a process called the Split Brain operation‚ which is essentially a person with two brains in one body. The corpus callosum is cut to control severe epilepsy‚ but this operation is rare and is often used as a last resort. One brain two sides; the left brain analysis breaking

started banging his head on a desk. “Oh‚ come off it! It won’t be that bad!” The professor placed some papers on a dark‚ wooden podium and began to speak. “The brain is separated into the left and right hemisphere‚ which are connected by the corpus callosum. It also has three sections: the hindbrain‚ midbrain‚ and forebrain. The hindbrain is the lower part of the brain and is involved in lots of important processes. Some of those are the heart rate‚ respiration‚ and balance. The midbrain controls

SCARS THAT WON’T HEAL: THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF CHILD ABUSE By Martin H. Teicher 68 In 1994 Boston police were shocked to discover a malnourished four-year-old locked away in a filthy Roxbury apartment‚ where he lived in dreadfully squalid conditions. Worse‚ the boy’s tiny hands were found to have been horrendously burned. It emerged that his drug-abusing mother had held the child’s hands under a steaming-hot faucet to punish him for eating her boyfriend’s food‚ despite her instructions

During the preschool years‚ the brain is the most fascinating and quick to grow organ at this time. In fact‚ it is also develops to three fourths of the size and weight of an adult brain. This clearly shows how important learning is at this age and how fast children develop the knowledge from their experiences. There are many biological reasons why the brain grows so vast at this period. During this time‚ there is a drastic increase in the connections between cells. This is to allows a more developed

Chapter 3 The Biological Bases of Behavior Communication in the Nervous System * Nervous Tissue: The Basic Hardware * Neurons are individual cells in the nervous system that receive‚ integrate‚ and transmit information. * The soma‚ or cell body‚ contains the cell nucleus and much of the chemical machinery common to most cells. * Dendrites are the parts of a neuron that are specialized to receive information. * The axon is a long‚ thin fiber that transmits signals
