Martin Arredondo English 101 D066 SUM 13 09/16/2013 Left Brain‚ right Brain Scientist has explored theories about the two hemispheres of the brain and the ways that they differ in function from each other‚ the two hemispheres are connected by a corpus callosum‚ or bundle of nerve fibers that facilitates communication between the two hemispheres. It is known that popular psychology sometimes makes broad generalizations about certain functions of the brain being lateral which t is located in either the

Specifically it will discuss‚ the cerebrum which is the largest and uppermost portion of the brain‚ which consists of the cerebral hemispheres that are joined at the bottom by the corpus callosum‚ and how it controls and integrates motor‚ sensory‚ and higher mental functions‚ such as thought‚ reason‚ emotion‚ and memory.

right hemispheres of the brain are separated and can no longer communicate. To test this Gazzaniga and Sperry had run different experiments to test the visual‚ tactile‚ and auditory abilities of split-brain patients who had surgically severed the corpus callosum which allowed for the two hemispheres of the brain to communicate. To test their visual abilities patients had sat in front of a board with a row of lights on it that ran across it horizontally. The lights then lit up across both visual fields

n.d.) The cerebrum is made up two sides‚ the left and right hemispheres. The right half of the cerebrum controls the left side of the body and the left side controls the right side. These two are connected by long neuron branches called the Corpus Callosum. Each hemisphere has four lobes; The frontal lobe is associated with reasoning‚ planning‚ movement‚ emotions and problem solving. The parietal lobe is associated with tactile sensory information such as pressure‚ touch‚ and pain. The temporal
