There are three major brain divisions. They are the cerebrum‚ the brainstem‚ and the cerebellum. The cerebrum contains 40% of the weight of the brain and is founded in the superior part of the brain.

But what we do know though is that some areas do appear to be predominantly involved in certain functions. We will learn about the brain in the three-part model. We’ll first look at

Distinctiveness between the right and left hemisphere of the brain Word Count: 995 Abstract The brain assymetry experiment is to investigate on the distinctiveness of the right and left hemisphere in the brain as each hemisphere has certain specializations. The experiment were carried out by initially asking the 25 participant on whether they were left or right handed and they had to choose the chimeric image which appeared younger to them. Laterality quotients were calculated in order to

Explain one study related to localization of function in the brain (Sperry) Command Term: Explain reasons or causes. Localization of function refers to the belief that specific areas of the cerebral cortex are associated with specific physical or behavioral functions. Examples of case studies to prove how specific locations of the brain can be affected and have an impact on behavior are demonstrated by the HM and Phineas Gage incident. In 1848‚ when Phineas Gage was tampering iron to press
