Chapter 2 Brain and Behavior The cerebral cortex outer layer of the cerebrum has the two largest hemispheres that covers the upper part of the brain which are divided into smaller portion called lobes. Corticalization is an increase in size of the wrinkling of the cortex and without this we would not be any smarter than any other animal. Cerebral hemispheres are divided into right and left halves of the cortex connected by thick band axon fibers called corpus. Hemispheric specialization‚ testing

Discuss the implications of the of the split-brain procedure (severing of the corpus callosum) for the understanding of the connections between the left and right hemisphere. The first known split-brain surgical procedure performed on humans’ was in the early 1940’s by Van Wagenen and Herren‚ in which both intended to control seizures of patients who suffered intractable epilepsy (Francois Boller‚ Jordan Graffman‚ 2000). The procedure performed by Van Wagenen and Herren was based on the speculation

article “The Brain on Love” by Diane Ackerman was a very interesting read. The idea of “feeling felt” stood out to me because in my experience‚ there is nothing greater than having someone feel the same way about you as you do them. We spend our entire lives looking for someone who will give us these neurological pick-me-ups and try to stay clear of those who will cause us mental pain. I was also surprised to find that social rejection and physical pain affect the same area of the brain. Although I

Brain Myth #1: You only use 10 percent of your brain. Fact: You use your entire brain. The 10% myth has been around for a long time. It is not certain how this falsehood began‚ but it has been strengthened over the past century by misinterpretations of neuroscience discoveries and unsubstantiated quotes by both scientists and laypeople alike. The truth is that we use virtually all of our brain every day. Let’s say‚ for example‚ that as you are reading this article‚ you are eating a sandwich.

Travis Sullins Psy. 1010‚ Assignment 1 February 3‚ 2013 The Behaving Brain The Video begins by explaining what we learned in class on Thursday about how the brain is made up of and how it works. It explained that a message will travel down axon then the message travels into the dendrites that release the message into the synapse. The brain becomes the most complex thing in the universe because it controls so many different things in the human body. It regulates our metabolism‚ temperature
