Chapter 2 Brain and Behavior The cerebral cortex outer layer of the cerebrum has the two largest hemispheres that covers the upper part of the brain which are divided into smaller portion called lobes. Corticalization is an increase in size of the wrinkling of the cortex and without this we would not be any smarter than any other animal. Cerebral hemispheres are divided into right and left halves of the cortex connected by thick band axon fibers called corpus. Hemispheric specialization‚ testing

An example of this would be a man’s brain using one part of the brain to accomplish a task and a woman’s brain accomplishing the same task with another part of the brain. Based on the text I believe that the brains of men and women are specialized in different ways. One example

Discuss the implications of the of the split-brain procedure (severing of the corpus callosum) for the understanding of the connections between the left and right hemisphere. The first known split-brain surgical procedure performed on humans’ was in the early 1940’s by Van Wagenen and Herren‚ in which both intended to control seizures of patients who suffered intractable epilepsy (Francois Boller‚ Jordan Graffman‚ 2000). The procedure performed by Van Wagenen and Herren was based on the speculation

Brain Myth #1: You only use 10 percent of your brain. Fact: You use your entire brain. 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.

Split-Brain Patients: The independent functioning of the left and right hemisphere when no longer connected by the corpus callosum. The human brain is a dynamic and elastic processing unit that manages the great extent of human life. This entails both conscious and unconscious functioning of each human system. For example‚ the brain controls emotions through behaviors‚ physiological responses (both autonomic and hormonal)‚ and feelings in response to stimuli from the environment (Carlson
