It requires talents‚" says John Devera‚ which supports the nature theory of artistic talent. It has been discovered that the corpus callosum‚ the part of the brain that connects the right and left side‚ is somewhat thicker in people whose right side of the brain is dominant. People who understand their creativity fully are those who use both sides of their brain more efficiently.

Biological Basis of Behavior William James- mental activity is also physiological activity Neuron- basic unit of the nervous system *Each neuron is a living cell with a nucleus and other parts common to all cells. Three main parts of the neuron: 1. Dendrites: the receiving part of the nucleus 2. Cell body (Soma): The processing part Electrochemical Transmission 3. Axon: the transmitting part Normal habit change: Doing the same behavior over and over again (same neurons being used over and over)

In the thalamus she put pictures of the brain sending messages. In the corpus callosum she put a person sending text message to the brain and in return she got a message saying “Sorry‚ this service is not available.” This is very accurate because sometimes there is a misconnect in her brain. In the hypothalamus she put a picture

1.An extensive network of specialized cells that carry information to and from all parts of the body is called the nervous system. 2.The basic cell that makes up the nervous system and which receives and sends messages within that system is called a neuron. 3.The long tube-like structure that carries the neural message to other cells on the neuron is the axon. 4.On a neuron‚ the branch-like structures that receive messages from other neurons are the dendrites. 5. The cell body of the neuron‚ responsible

of the brain. In the cerebral cortex the brain processes motor‚ visual‚ auditory‚ and sensory functions. Like the central core the cerebral cortex is separated into different parts‚ these two parts are called the cerebral hemispheres. The corpus callosum acts as a bridge between each hemisphere. Each hemisphere has four sections of its own‚ called lobes. The occipital‚ parietal‚ temporal‚ and frontal are the four lobes of the the cerebral cortex. These separate parts of the hemispheres each

These hemispheres control speech‚ intelligence‚ and memory. There are specific centres for specific functions; for example‚ the speech centre governs the ability to form sounds into meaningful words‚ phrases‚ etc. Left Hemisphere The Left
