The Brain 's Cerebral Cortex

The brain is three pounds of tissue that are part of the nervous system. It

is one of the two basic parts and contains a bout 100 billion nerve cells.

The glilia is the cells that take care of the neuron cells ands allow the

nueroin cells to carry out all of the impulses and messages that they must

send. It is divided in to parts that give you the ability to do everything

from swimming to math and more.

The brain has two hemispheres, which are mirror images of each other ,the

right and left. The cerebral cortex of the brain is the main processing

center of the brain. The surface is made up of surface of sulci and gyri.

Your brain has two sides ,and each has a distinctly different way of looking

at the world. The more we integrate those two sides, the more developed we

make ourselves. Integration not only increases our ability to creatively

solve problems, but to control physical problems such as epilepsy and

migraines. Even more startling is evidence coming to light that we have

become a "left-brain culture".

Your brain's right and left side have distinctly different ways of

looking at the world. Your two hemispheres are as different from each other

as me to you. The left brain controls the right side of the body (the

exception to this occurs with left handed people which is 15 percent of the

population) and is logical scientific, judgmental and verbal. It's

interested in the facts, and efficiency. The right brain controls the left

side of the body and deals with the creativity and imagination. It is

concerned more with the visual and emotional side of life.

As you read, your left-side is sensibly making connections and analyzing the

meaning of the words, the grammar and other complex relation-ships while

putting it into a "language" you can understand. Meanwhile, the right side

is providing emotional and even humorous

cues, by looking at visual

information and causing you to find humor or sadness.

There are four lobes of the brain which divide the brain further. The four

lobes are frontal, pariental, occipital, and temporal lobes. Each one

fulfils a specific purpose. The frontal lobe deals with the motor skills,

planning, and personality it makes you move and even speak. The pariental

lobe is in charge of spatial organization of attention and body sensation.

The occipital lobe is the one that uses visual images it discerns them and

process them. The Temporal lobe is your hearing and object recognition

canter it works with memory.
