Localization refers to the specific area of the brain that is responsible for a specific function. In the 1960s‚ Roger Sperry and his colleagues experimented with the split brain to determine each hemispheres function‚ this knowledge had previously been undiscovered and he went on to receive a Nobel Prize in 1981. A split brain is a scenario in which the Corpus Callosum connecting the two hemispheres of the brain is severed to some degree meaning the hemispheres cannot work in correlation with

This experiment was conducted to see if the brain would perform better in mathematical tasks‚ if there was an increase in blood flow through exercise. The increase in blood flow should help the brain to perform better as it receives more oxygen. This is because all cells require oxygen for cellular respiration. To test this‚ three females‚ aged 16-17‚ were asked to answer four mathematical questions for four trials. As each trial progressed‚ subjects had to run on the spot for an extra 30s. It was

considered how incredible the human body is? Just look at what the brain is capable of doing and how it deals with our daily classroom requirements. Our brain needs several very important ingredients to make it more efficient with our academic success. Shockingly‚ fats are critical‚ our brains need good fats. We also need proteins‚ carbohydrates and water. These ingredients are really necessary for us to process information effectively. We will now look at the way our brains work. Within your brain
