There are several methods that both measure and scan the cortical functions of the brain and they both have their individual strengths and weaknesses. In a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan the scanner injects the patient with glucose containing radiotracers which are radioactive and emit positrons which are then picked up by the scanner. As glucose is used for energy in the body it will travel to the brain and distributes itself to the parts of the brain need it most at that time. When it

Hemispheric disconnection and unity in conscious awareness - Sperry 1968. Evaluation In 1968 the neuropsychologist conducted a study into split brain patients while working at the California Institute of Technology. Previously he had carried out research similar to this‚ in the1950s‚ splitting the brains of cats and monkeys. It was during this research that he realise3d that you could teach one of the hemispheres a task‚ while keeping the other hemisphere unaware of the information learned. This

Analysing research has demonstrated a large number of perspectives on hemispheric preference of facial recognition. The right hemisphere is indicated to be the part of the brain responsible for processing visual information in comparison to the left hemisphere which is more for language and analytical processing. Studies such as the preference test have reinforced this. Other studies on hemispheric preference include examining emotions‚ facial memory‚ facial features encouraging hemispherical preference

thoughtful and subjective‚ while those who use the left side are more logical‚ detail-oriented and analytical (Novotney‚ 2013). In order to acknowledge these differences this essay will highlight what is meant by lateralisation of the brain and the specialisation of the human cerebral cortex. Equally as important‚ is to explain how handedness has developed and how it relates to cognitive functioning. Finally‚ by looking at how we study the brain and different research techniques used‚ a thorough analysis
