Cerebral hemisphere

I decided to write my literature after going through one of the textbooks in my physiological psychology course and remembered about the cerebral hemispheres, which receives sensory information from opposite sides of the body. This got interested in the topic of cerebral hemispheres and sensory information after a split brain operation. The split brain procedure is a surgical operation that’s used for people that have severe epilepsy that can’t be controlled by the drugs they take. In the brains

Cerebral hemispheres: connection and separation The human brain is divided in two different symmetrical parts, the hemispheres, which are connected by the corpus callosum – this connection enables us to engage in higher cognitive processes (Rogers, Zucca & Vallortigara, 2004). Evolution provided us with the capacity to benefit from lateralization, allowing us to perform well while involved in two completely different tasks simultaneously. Furthermore, the plasticity of the brain makes it easy to

Texperiences. Some people might argue that getting lost in the mall is too common of an experience to demonstrate false memories. For this argument, Hyman et al. constructed an experiment to show the occurrence of false memories in less that common childhood events including spilling punch at a wedding and a sprinkler system going off a at grocery store. For one variation of this study, Hyman et al. implanted the memory of an overnight hospitalization with a high fever, and possible ear infection

Aaron Almonte One Brain or Two? Numerous researches and experiments have been done based on whether the human being possess one brain divided into two parts (left and right hemisphere) or whether we have two different brains working together. The psychologist Roger W. Sperry was the first on research this topic with some experiments on animals. Then, he later started working with Michael Gazzaniga. They were able to find split-brain patients. Those patients had their brain split as way

extent or in whole. This procedure was mainly used as an extremely invasive surgical procedure within patients suffering from intractable epileptic seizures. The corpus callosum consists of over 200 million nerve fibres connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain and enables corresponding regions to communicate. During one of Dandy’s surgeries, he had to cut through corpus callosum of a patient in order to get to an underlying pineal tumour. Following surgery, Dandy observed and performed psychological

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Ambidextrous and Sinistral in a dexterous world? Throughout the history, there are a lot of debates about which is right - handed or left - handed, even ambidextrous better. This issue has been argued and resulted in many sides by not only scientist but also psychologist, because it decides to succeed in life. In the following essay, the benefits and the drawbacks of this problem will be discussed. Let’s begin by looking at some definitions. Sinistral

the brain is split into two different hemispheres, both of which perform different tasks and focus on different thoughts. Researchers use this very information to understand the cerebral hemisphere functions, specifically researchers use a theory known as Left Brain-Right Brain Theory.This essay will discuss the basic principal of the Left Brain-Right Brain Theory, the three major points of the Left Brain- Right Brain Theory, the functions of each hemisphere, and a scenario that favors the Left Brain-Right

men. At the time of awarding, the three gentlemen specialized in the field of neurophysiology while two also specialized in the field of ocular physiology. One-half of the prize was awarded to Roger W. Sperry for his discoveries involving the cerebral hemispheres whereas the other half was awarded and split between David H. Hubel and Torsten N. Wiesel for their findings on the visual system. Therefore, together their research altered how people originally thought the brain processed information by verifying

When you think of the brain, think of it as the most important part of the human body. The brain is the strongest part of the body and can easily be damaged. Not only is it easy to damage but it also has the ability to take in a lot of new information to increase one's intelligence. Think of the brain like a computer or even a sponge. The brain has six very important parts to it, the lobes play a very important part to the brain. The lobes break down into four different parts these four parts are

Abstract The El-Niño Southern Oscillation is a complex sequence of natural climate variations that take place in the tropics of the Pacific Ocean, yet affect the climate of the entire globe. The climate phenomenon, known as ENSO, has three main phases that each differ markedly in their atmospheric and oceanic conditions. El Niño, also known as “the warm phase”, is the first cycle that begins when warm water in the eastern Pacific Ocean shifts to the west toward South America. During El Niño, the
