Well, today
I want to talking about a video of Psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist who describes
the real differences between the left and right halves of the human brain. He explain that the division of the brain is
something neuroscientists don´t like to talk about and also people have given up talking about
it, because it's not simply "emotion on the right, reason on the left,"
as everyone think but something far more complex and interesting.
To respect
I can say that I knew something about this topic because I saw this matter in a
course called Neurosciences in past year. I remember that the teacher told us
that the brain is compose for the corpus callosum, whose main function is to
inhibit the other hemisphere. Also, I know that in the right hemisphere is
located attention sustained, broad, open and vigilant. While in the left
hemisphere we can find attention to detail, narrow, sharply focused. Truth is a very interesting topic.
If you want
know more about this phenomen you can find more information in this link
http://www.ted.com/talks/iain_mcgilchrist_the_divided_brain.html, I recommend
it completely.
It´s time to say goodbye. I hope that you have
enjoyed reading my blog, because I always tried to write interesting things.
And I hope see you next semester.
Greetings to everyone!!
