The Brain

1. What does the word "hemisphere" refer to when talking about the brain?
The brain is divided in to two different hemispheres known as the right brain, and the left brain. One of the ways to learn someone’s styles is to understand there hemispheric dominance. ARE YOU A LEFT BRAINED OR A RIGHT BRAINED? The hemispheres are connected by a thick band or unions of nerve fibers. The left side of the brain is the seat of language and processes in a logical and sequential order. The right side is more visual and processes intuitively, holistically, and randomly. Most people seem to incline to one or the other.

2. What are the major differences between the left and right sides of the brain?

Right Brain
Random
Intuitive
Holistic
Synthesizing
Subjective
Looks at wholes
Left Brain
Logical
Sequential
Rational
Analytical
Objective
Looks at parts



3. What is the corpus collasum?
The corpus collasum is a huge bundle of nerve fibers found only in mammalian brains. These connect both’ hemispheres on the brain, and is responsible for the communication and the synchronization of both on the actions that we make, for example playing Nintendo, typing a paper, hitting someone, using our phones, reading books, playing sports such as basketball, soccer, ping pong, and all of them that are known of. It is self-possessed of white matter, that is, militated nerve cells, or axons, whose key task is to bond grey areas collectively with neural impulses.


4. Explain the study performed by Paul Broca in which he discovered "Broca's Area."
Broca's area is the area of the brain in charge for verbal communication construction, verbal communication dispensation, and speech understanding, as well as scheming facial neurons. First exposed in 1861, Broca's area was named after Pierre Paul Broca. He revealed the area after studying the brain of patience with a speech mutilation after his bereavement.
Broca's area is associated to the Wernick’s area of the brain by the arcuate fasciculus, which is a pathway made of neurons. It is bring into being in the frontal lobe of the cortex, within the inferior frontal gyrus. It is comprised of two primary parts: the Pars triangularis and the Pars opercularis.






5. Explain the study conducted by Roger Sperry in regard to "split brain."
Roger Sperry was a famous neuropsychologist and neurobiologist. He won the Nobel Prize in Medicine due to the “split-brain” studies he did in the year 1981. Roger attended people who had no corpus collasum, meaning that they had it cut off. He worked with a method of a screen; the patient was to look into the center of the screen he was using. Progressively a word appeared on the left side of the patient’s visual side. The patients were not able to tell what they saw, because he or she was not capable because of the information received from the non-verbal right hemisphere of the brain. Later on the patience was asked to grab an object that was located behind the screen using his or her left hand that asserted with the word that was being flashed on the screen. Each hemisphere in the body controls the actions of the opposite side of the body.


6. Explain the study conducted by Karl Wernicke which led to the discovery of Wernicke's Area."






7. Which lobe is most responsible for vision?
The lobe in charged for vision is the occipital lobe.

8. Which lobe is most responsible for hearing and language?
The lobe in charge of the hearing and language is the temporal lobe.


9. Which lobe is most responsible for performing math calculations, and which lobe is most responsible for judgment, reasoning and impulse control?

For performance of math calculations, and responsibility for judgments, reasoning and impulse control are being taken care off in the frontal lobe.

Phineas Gage

Phineas Gage was a railroad worker in his times, unfortunately due to an accident he had, he suffered severe damage in his brain, specifically in the frontal lobe. Phineas Gage suffered noticeable changes in personality and also in his temperament, it actually was considered as evidence that the frontal lobes were encharged for processes related to emotions, personality, and many controals and functions in general. Gage lived until 37 years old, he died at a young age due to many simptoms he developed from the accident.

On September 13, 1848 Gage found himself working just outside Cavendish, Vermont, he was working on a railway contruccion for a train. His job was a foreman and many times he was known for the man who was capable of achiving what he disired.


One of the assignations he had to do was to drill holes into a rock, and place explosoves. After doing this, he covered the hole with sand and a metal bar. That day Phineas did not covered it well so when he hit the sand with the metal bar, there was a spark that then became in the explosive crator, making the metal bar be penetrated through Gage's head.












































Gage Surprisingly not only did not die instantly, but remained conscious at all times. The chronicle tells of the time even speaking a few minutes. After the accident he was taken in a cart several miles to the doctor's Harlow, one of the doctors of the people who would reflect it's evolution.

Survive an explosion, a wound like that, and rudimentary medicine of the time and still be able to walk and talk is amazing, no less surprising is that two months after Dr. Harlow consider that Gage was completely recovered, giving high.

What influences more your choice career?

Many say, people live their future by choice, but many say it’s by chance. People live their future to how creative they want to go, but human kind are not satisfied with only dominating certain professions. This is why many people are awarded for many things. But the question is still the same … which side influences your carrier choice more, nature or nurture? Many people are influenced by genetics, in a way that height, weight, and the rest of physical features are also involved in carrier choosing. The nature sided people will always say that if you really want something in life and you work hard you will get it. It is probably true, but this will not always be the case. In the other hand people who support the environment’s side, believe that we nurture our choice career, but also believes that there are slightly inclinations to some professions.

To begin with, it is believed that we acquire our career election from people around us such as our families that thank God we have had them since we were newborns. Places is another factor that influences our carrier choice, because if we are used to go or enjoy some place you probably want to be there forever to live what you always wanted. Internet is a very important source to include because many dream to be the best engineer they could, or the best doctor, but probably they have never worked as one so internet opens doors to creations, and to evolution. Through internet people learn new stuff, and day by day they try to adopt them in any way possible. We have to recognize that economical influence is always a very important aspect to cover, because many people dream and work so hard to get the future they wanted and even though it’s in their DNA, it would be very difficult to accomplish without money.


Secondly, it is also believed that we acquire our career election from our genetics. People believe that we are born with talents, and many time since little kids we start developing them, but many times it takes years and years to discover them and later on to deploy them. In life many things are hidden until you get to a certain point such as High School where you start thinking about what you want to do with your life, and always you think of what you’ve always wanted to do and you never noticed that that is what you feel like doing until you actually think about it, and feel that you will do the best at that and that most important of all you carried it in your talents for many years, but you just never got the chance to develop it the way it has to be done. In other words everyone is good at something, but it is a matter of time and decision to be able to carry them out into your carrier, for a possibility of making that your future dedication.


In conclusion, the key to success is finding what turns on your future. After the research I made for this I can realize that choosing your career can be influenced by both, but in my opinion , and due to the facts presented above it is influenced more by your environment. Because what if what you want your career to be when you grow up, is still not invented yet in human society.

Nature vs Nurture

To this date human kind are aware of two different type’s behavior. These two are known as innate behavior and learned behavior.
Innate behavior is known as the behavior living organisms are born with. An example of nature of a human being is an automatic blink, we blink when our eyes get blown into them. In other words it’s a natural or automatic reaction of people to blink when itself is trying to protect from any possible harming the body. Another example of nature behavior is when kids from a very young age imitate is when they see, so this is why parents always example ask their older son or daughter to set a good example for their baby brother or sister.
The other type of behavior is known as learned behavior. Empiricists believe that children are born with this behavior, and that they adopt them from their everyday environment. These behaviors are unfixed and can any time be changed.
Many carflicts appear when culling behavior innate behavior of learned behavior, because examples could fall for both categories at the same time.
In conclusion these two types of behavior are very different, but sometimes they could get across in so many ways. And there are many different views towards each side, and it is difficult to comprehend which side is which without studying the example.
