The corpus callosum is an area of the brain that connects the left and right hemispheres in order allow communication throughout different sections of a brain. This acts as the main communication pathway in order to coordinate different sections of the brain to perform various tasks. Proper development of this portion of the brain is vital to ensure that no major abnormalities may cause possible issues in longterm development. If it fails to develop by either not being able to grow properly or…

Ballet of Two Brains Doubt, it is the whisper through the night, the cold wind that makes christian 's skin pucker up with goosebumps full of fear and anxiety birthed by the difficult questions. The question that makes a room full of people feel like a raging sea of Sunday school answers answer you were given in 5 grade. Along with people digging trenches packing up their love and concern for you distancing themselves with those words, "I 'll be praying for you," leave you walking away feeling…

I make my way down the stairs of my house and open the door. Soda and Darry yell at me some kind of goodbye and I head out. Walking through my not so pretty neighborhood I reach the lot. I take a minute to look at the lot, and think back to when I sat in it sometimes. Blinking back to reality I look around again and realize that I need to get back on my way. I’m holding with me Gone With the Wind and a sketchbook. Making a few turns and twists, I finally reach my destination, Johnny’s grave.…

The commercial for the product “Squatty Potty” starts off with a man dressed in medieval attire, he is talking to a unicorn that is defecating colorful ice cream into cones on a conveyer belt. The man then takes the ice cream cone and licks and says “they're good at pooping, but do you know who's bad at pooping? You are.” The man goes into detail and explains that the way we poop can and is harmful to us. He explains this by showing us on the unicorn that when we sit to use the restroom we are…

AIMS The following questions have to do with the study of patients who have undergone a surgery (for medical reasons, severe epilepsy being one) that severed the corpus callosum. This leaves the two halves of the brain to work independently from one another. The main questions this study seeks to answer are: how do the two halves of the brain interact with each other and how is this relationship altered after the subjects have undergone this surgery? METHODS Basically, subjects were asked…

In Lydia Davis’s short story, “The Old Dictionary” a person reflects on how they treats things. It is pointed out that he or she worries more about a book and not his or her own son. This dictionary means more to that person than their own son. A child needs looking after as well as plants and pets. A book is something to sit on a shelf, not something to focus a life around. Maybe somethings are looked after more because they require less demands than other things, but does that mean to not give…

the left and right hemispheres. I will compare the performance of people with intact brains with the performance of so-called split-brain patients. In many ways, the brains of these two groups are very similar. 1 a. For example, the brainstem exists at the base of the brain connecting the brain and spinal cord and has no functional differences between an intact and split brain patient. Being the most primitive part of the brain, its structure does not change because each component, the…

I decorated our house for the Advent Season. No big deal? Maybe for you. For me, this means a lot because I haven’t put Christmas trimmings in our house for a long, long time. Maybe because I was so immersed in my troubles that I had forgotten how to celebrate Christmas. Or maybe, I felt so miserable that I failed to see the hope Christmas brings to our hearts... One day, my eldest son told me that he is not going to mass anymore. Stunned, I demanded for an explanation. He retorted,…

Did you know that the average adult has almost 10 pounds of skin? Furthermore, more than half of the dust in the world is just dead skin. Cells, nerves, receptors, tissue - skin doesn’t just protect our delicate insides. It plays the biggest role in how we appear, and how we feel about our appearance. The skin can even tell us when something is wrong with our insides. So what does it mean when our skin is bumpy, almost like chicken skin? Is it a breakout, an allergy, or is it a sign of…

A Split Attention Effect in Multimedia Learning: Evidence for Dual Processing Systems in Working Memory, written by Robert E. Mayer and Roxana Moreno, discusses a study that tested students’ ability to successfully and effectively process information from two different stimuli at once. Mayer and Moreno found that students were able to perform better on recall tests when presented with an auditory list of instructions rather than a visual one. The purpose of the study, according to Mayer and…
