Some of these newly discoveries have sent people to prison. These memories had been repressed – held back- for many years. Memory – true or false? In the 1980s in the United States, there were many cases of adults who suddenly remembered, with the help of a psychologist, things that had happened to them in childhood. Classes at some schools and books claim to help people to “silence” the left hemisphere and give the right one a chance to work.Ĭ. Can we be taught to use our right hemisphere more? Many experts believe so. Therefore, many of us might not “exercise” our right hemisphere much, except through dreams, symbols, and those wonderful insights in which we suddenly find the answer to a problem that has been bothering us – and do so without the need for logic. From childhood, in school, we’re taught reading, writing, and mathematics we are exposed to very little music of art. In other words, we can be more creative than we realize! The problem is that we use mainly one hemisphere of our brain – the left. Psychologists agree that most of us have creative ability that is greater than what we use in daily life. Recent research is shedding light on creativity, memory, maturity, gender, and the relationship between mind and body.ī. Memorizing the names for parts of the brain might not seem thrilling to many students, but new discoveries in brain function are exciting. And we learn that corpus callosum is the “bridge” that connects the two hemispheres. The right hemisphere manages the left side of the body this hemisphere controls emotional, creative, and artistic functions. The left hemisphere, generally, manages the right side of the body it is responsible for logical thinking. We find that the cerebrum, which is responsible for all active thought, is divided into two parts, or hemispheres. We learn about the neocortex, the “new brain”, which is unique to humans and is where complex brain activity takes place. We study the sub cortex, the “old brain”, which is found in the brains of most animals and is responsible for basic functions such as breathing, eating, drinking, and sleeping. Most of us learn basic facts about the human brain in our middle or high school biology classes.
