BRAIN FUNCTION

Everybody have a brain in the world. What do you know about the brain.The HUMAN BRAIN has the same general structure as the brains of other mammals, but is larger than expected on the basis of body size among other primates? In critical literacy subject, i had learned about the hemisphere in the brain. There are two sides in our brain which is left and right brain. Before i tell about the other things, let we see the meanings of the both sides in the brain.


LEFT AND RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTION

LEFT BRAIN HEMISPHERE

  • In tune with ONLY one's very own concept of right and wrong as the basis of one's reality.
RIGHT BRAIN HEMISPHERE
  • Emphatic to others concept of right and wrong as the basis of one's reality.

This theory of the structure and functions of the mind suggests that the two different sides of the brain control two different “modes” of thinking. It also suggests that each of us prefers one mode to think.Now, i want to show the examples when we are using left and right brain to think.


VANUATU AND NATIVES PEOPLE

" It was happened at last aidilfitri feast.
