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

short essay my brain is functioning in unison. That the left side of my brain is logically thinking of what to type in sequence‚ while my right side is viewing the context and the big picture. This type of information was something unfamiliar to me before reading “A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future‚” by Daniel H. Pink. He brings forth new ideas of how the brain truly functions and entails that the right brain is no longer a passenger to the left side of the brain. He makes the

* Interest and research in the brain is at an all-time pace The cure for some common diseases such as Alzheimer’s‚ Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis has accelerated the efforts of many scientists * Many of the names for the parts of the brain have come from Latin and Greek words * The easiest way to learn about the brain is to look at it as three divisions; the hindbrain‚ the midbrain and the forebrain * Modern imaging has allowed us to study the brain and locate where important functions

and female brains Despite that males and females are both humans‚ we have differences in the body and the brain. There are multiple differences between the male and female brain. It is not completely understood yet but it has been seen in the multiple areas of the brain. Now that we have the technology to properly study the brain we can see that there are differences. Some of these differences are the structure of the brain‚ what side of the brain we use more and how our brain affects our

different parts called organs. All of the parts are controlled by an organ called the brain‚ which is located in the head. The brain weighs about 2.75 pounds‚ and has a whitish-pink appearance. The brain is made up of many cells‚ and is the control centre of the body. The brain flashes messages out to all the other parts of the body. The messages travel in very fine threads called nerves. The nerves and the brain make up a system somewhat like telephone poles carrying wires across the city. This is

Alpha waves – have frequency of (8-13 Hz). Waves are regular and rhythmic‚ are synchronous and have low amplitude. They signify an awake but calm brain. Beta waves – have frequency of (14-30 Hz). Waves are rhythmic but not so regular‚ and have higher frequencies. They signify wakefulness and alertness.

Question 1 Given what we know about localization of function in the human brain‚ is it scientifically legitimate to categorize people as left-brained or right-brained? Hemispheric lateralization‚ as discovered by Roger W. Sperry (1965)‚ ascribes to the specialization of one cerebral hemisphere or the other in controlling specific functions (Passer‚ Smith‚ Holt‚ Bremner‚ Sutherland & Vliek‚ 2009). In recent years‚ there appears to be a growing phenomenon in the generalization

organs in the body‚ but the brain is affected most by drug use. The brain is complex and communicates via nuerons and nerve cells to command the body. The brain ensures the body performs the necessary functions for survial. Drugs can compromise the brain’s ability to properly communicate to the organs in the body. Drugs affect communication and a person’s behavior. The following presentation will provide an explanation as to how drugs affect the brain The brain is a network made up of nuerons

Left Brain vs. Right Brain: Implications of Learning Foundations of Online Learning Abstract A left-brain dominant person’s attributes are different than that of a right-brained person. This difference causes these two groups to have different learning styles. A left-brain dominant tends to be better at spelling and math. This is because this person can see all of the pieces. A right- brain dominant person tends be better at writing‚ biology‚ and other hands on subjects
