How Our Brain Works

      The brain has two hmispheres which means there is the left hemisphere of the brain and the right hemisphere of the brain. The major differences in between the lestf and the right side of the brain are that: first, the left side of the brain uses logic and the right side uses randomness. second, the left side is rational and the right is intuitive. third, the left looks at parts and the right looks at wholes. Fourth, left side is subjective and the right is objective. The corpus callosum is a huge bundle of nerve fibers found in mammalian brains. It connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and is responsible for most of the communication between the two.
       The production of language has been linked to the Broca’s area since Pierre Paul Broca reported impairments in two patients. They had lost the ability to speak after injury to the posterior of the brain.[2] Since then, the approximate region he identified has become known as Broca’s area, and the deficit in language production as Broca´s aphasia.
    RogerSperry discovered in two of his pacient epilepsy. During this time there was no cure for this but Roger and his colegues found a cure which was to remove the corpus collosum so that the problem wouldnt spread into the other hemisphere of the brain.
     After a small time that after Borca came up with is theory Carl Wernicke came up with another theory of how malfunctioning in language or speech happens in the brain.he found that damage to the left posterior, superior temporal gyrus had effects in deficits in language comprehension. This region is now called Wernicke´s Area, and the associated syndrome is known as Wernikes affacia, because of his discovery.
     The occipitl lobe is most responsible for vision. The temporal lobe is responsible for hearing and language, but not only that it also controls memory, emotions and learning. The Angular Gyrus is responsible for answering mathematical problems or metaphores. The HindBarin is responsible for judgment, reasoning and impulse control. It is also the oldest part of the brain.
