Hello everybody!
After presentation about "Myths and Truth about the Brain", I obtained a lot of information related with brain, their functions and research; for example: Cerebral cortex has 2mm of tickness, research about brain are very expensive and in Chile medical consults increase for psychiatrists. Furthermore, Brain needs 25% of oxygen entered to work and keep it in optimal conditions. So today my post is about two myths that surprised me.
First: "The Human Brain is very defferent from the Brain of other animals"; it is similar in all species but the difference is the amount of connections between brain`s parts (between bouth hemispheres, surface and deep regions, neurons, etc.). Also the size of brain is not relevant, because a small brain may has a lot connections and, a big brain may has few connections.
Second: "Every Brain function is localized in a specific place of the Brain"; it is a myth because when you doing an action, for example see a movie, all connections has participation in that you can see, hear, understand, etc; so is a combination of places that are activated. In PET images, RED areas presents a lot activity and BLUE areas presents less activity in different moment (thinking, listening, looking, etc.); but is not an specific area, is a combination of areas.
It presentation has impact in my future as midwife, because you can motivate to pregnancy women to estimulate babies brain and, increase the numbers of connections.
I hope you enjoy my post, see you in class!
