    • 633 Words
    • 3 Pages

    First of all the theme is “Don’t underestimate others by how they look”. Many people underestimated Quarta because of her abilities. When Quarta was born the doctors told her parents the “bad news” about her and that meant that the doctor underestimated her as well. Have you ever been in crowds knowing none of those people out there won’t be your friends because of how you look thats how Quarta felt. Also her parents even underestimated her because they were afraid that Quarta would get hurt or struggle because of her 2 arms and 2 legs . Parents can underestimate you many times but for Quarta she thinks it's just rude that her parents think she can’t be like the other kids because of her what she can or can’t do. In addition she was underestimated by everyone because everyone sees her getting fed by…

    The human brain is a complex and sophisticated organ. Understanding the function of the brain is often limited to the understanding of the brains areas with regard to how these areas respond to stimuli or in cases of damage. Much of the understanding of the brain is rooted in observation of damaged brains and their correlation of impaired function with specific areas of damage. Modern technologies have begun to change this trend because tools such as the Magnetic Resonance Imager (MRI) allows scientist to observe brain function with the invasiveness of surgery. This technology has provided not just insights into neuroscience but also into psychology as brain functions can now be correlated better with behavior and heredity. One can see this insight when examining specific areas of the brain such as the temporal and frontal lobes of the brain.…

    The brain is the control center of the human body. It is protected by the skull and is made up of three main parts, the cerebrum, the cerebellum and the Brainstem. The brain is the boss of the body, it runs the show and controls just about everything one does, even when one’s asleep. (Kidshealth, n.d.) During this brief tour guide of the brain, one will see how the brain fits into the Central Nervous System, how the main parts work together, and what would happen if one of those main parts were damaged.…

Some of these differences are the structure of the brain, what side of the brain we use more and how our brain affects our behavior. This paper will show you the differences that have been seen but also that the difference is not due to intelligence.…

    Brain Myth

    • 602 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The 10% myth has been around for a long time. It is not certain how this falsehood began, but it has been strengthened over the past century by misinterpretations of neuroscience discoveries and unsubstantiated quotes by both scientists and laypeople alike. The truth is that we use virtually all of our brain every day. Let's say, for example, that as you are reading this article, you are eating a sandwich. As you are reading, the frontal lobes in your cerebral cortex are engaged in thinking and reasoning. You are enjoying your delicious sandwich thanks to your parietal lobes, which are responsible for taste, texture and smell of food. The occipital lobes help to process how you see the words on this page, and the temporal lobes help you process what you hear—like the crunch of your sandwich and the rustle of the page.…
