I Have a Dream Speech
1. How do convolutions of a human brain compare with those of a rat or dog brain? * they are nearly identical despite major differences in the brain's internal structure * the human brain has many more convolutions * the lower animals have more convolutions and therefore fewer direct connections * human convolutions are less numerous, but larger * humans have frontal lobes, other animals do not 2. Bilateral symmetry... * is common in the animal kingdom * is unique to humans * is found only in old world primates, including humans * is apparently involved in the sense of equilibrium or balance * has been disproven by PET scans showing lateralization 3. How might lateralization contribute to a "control system" guiding activity, according to a decades-old theory? * the "minor" hemisphere is better at delicate, controlled action * if one side suddenly fails, the other can take over * oscillations between the two sides set up a rhythm of activity * the left hemisphere leads a person to take on challenges, the right hemisphere is associated with avoidance * the two sides allow people to balance in an upright position 4. What does "autonomic" mean? * automatic * emotional * regenerative * isolated * retroactive 5. PET scans... * are not quite as good as thermograms at showing detail * show only brain structures, not areas of activity * are made by rotating an X-ray machine around a patient's head * often use labeled glucose * have not lived up to early expectations 6. An axonal arborization looks somewhat like... * a button * a cake of many layers * a grape arbor, according to Cajal * a dendritic tree * a corn stalk 7. What does a lobotomy involve? * suction removal of brain tissue * removal

    Studies have been conducted on cerebral lateralization and functionality of the human brain. Many studies have revealed there are no substantial differences of the left and right hemispheres of the human brain (Pinel, 2009). Some functional differences have shown one hemisphere may be slightly dominating for functional differences (Pinel, 2009).…

    The left brain versus right brain learning theory states that each side of the brain controls different types of thinking. These different types of thinking are said to be dominant in different types of people. It is postulated that people are either left or right brain thinkers, and it is complicated for a person to try to think any differently than they already know how. The idea was raised in the 1860’s when Pierre Paul Broca, a French physician, came upon brain function lateralization. A patient of his had a speech deficit and could not process words correctly. When the patient passed and Broca did an autopsy he found that he had a lesion in the left hemisphere. Broca was the first person to discover that the left side of the brain controlled language (Murr and Williams, 1988). In the 1960’s Michael Gazzaniga and Roger Sperry were studying the effects of epilepsy. They discovered that by cutting the corpus collosum (the part that connects the two hemispheres) they could treat the seizures by reducing or eliminating them (Cherry, 2012). However, the patients began to show side effects of the procedure. Many were unable to name objects processed by the right brain but were able to name ones that were processed by the left. After studying the patients Sperry initiated the study of the two hemispheres and how they process and store information in different ways.…

    Between the two hemispheres in the cerebral cortex there is the contralateral control arrangement by which one side of the brain controls the movement on the opposite side of the body. Although the two separate sides of the cerebral cortex do not function in exactly the same way, they do work together as a team to make the human body operate correctly. The left and right hemisphere, often referred to as the left and right brain, each have different functions in which they are in control of. The left hemisphere has speech, language, reading, and writing. The right…

    As we all know the brain id divide by the left and right hemispheres; the left hemisphere the controls the right side of the brain as well as language and logically it also retrieves memory, the right hemisphere controls the left side of the brain as well as recognition of objects and people and process music and voices allowing you to associate a voice with a face, person, and or name. During Jill Botler Taylor’s reference about her own experience of the functions and dysfunctions of the brains hemispheres, Botler explained that the left hemisphere of the brain is about the past and the present, organization and association, language and speech development, visual and perception; however, the right hemisphere is about the present, movement…

    Cerebral Lateralization

    Cerebral lateralization can be defined as “the functional specialization of the two cerebral hemispheres” (Groen, Whitehouse, Badcock & Bishop, 2012, p. 257). In this section general intelligence and visuospatial processing concerning cerebral lateralization and sex differences are discussed. Cerebral laterization of intelligence may have an effect on one hemisphere, sometimes both, depending on how general abilities were represented (Njemanze, 2005, p. 235). Phillip Njemanze conducted a study, using RPM tasks in females and males to determine cerebral laterization. This study proposed that “general intelligence is associated with neural systems represented…
