This week we learned about the right vs. left brain. When taking the quiz given in class I came up with a result of 5.2 meaning I tend to use my right brain more than my left. Other quizzes I have looked into state that I use my left. I became really interested in the way people think and even more interested in the way I think. Having a close number of 5.2 to me means that i tend to use both sides of my brain in different situations. After taking a couple quizzes it showed me how I think.

I found an article that talks about why the brain is the way it is. Most ask why we think with two different hemispheres but only have one brain. Because the cerebral cortex, is made up of two halves is why we think with different hemispheres.

 Each hemisphere (left and right) are used for different things. Although one may be gifted in a certain hemisphere versus the other, everyone uses both hemispheres. During class, we watched a video that showed us what it would be like when the cerebellum cortex was cut in half. Even though it was cut for a specific reason, it was unique to see the results. The man used his hemispheres in a different way than we do. Both hemispheres worked within his brain, but didn't combine as easily as a normal brain would. It took him longer to finish exercises than an average person. I found it really interesting to think about what it would be like to not be able to think the way you do now.

Think about having a deformed brain or even a different brain than you have now. Blog your ideas and reactions. (:
