miths of neuroscience

hi everyone!, today I will talk about a mith in the neuroscience. Humans only use 10% of their brain?

Read this blog and you can know it!

This mith come from Einstein, also Karl Lasley used electric shocks in the brain and he found that some areas of the brain didn't react, so he concluded that we don't use this areas.

But we can say that this mith is false!!!!! Now there are imaging techniques which show us that there are areas of the brain that have differents functions, for example, when we see something this information go at primary visual area in a place of the brain, as well as with the other senses. Besides this, there are areas more complex which are linked to the production and comprehension of lenguage.

There are also secondary areas, for example, if we talk about vision, as I said before, this information go at primary visual area, but then of this, the information must go at secondary visual area and in this place is analysed and the object seen is reconstructed in three dimensions.

In this moment neuroscience try to show that the brain is active completly, when there is a person under local anaesthesic there are active areas, even when no movement, sensations, emotions or during sleep. Therefore there aren't inactive areas, if this were so it would indicate a serious functional disorder and therefore this myth is false!!!

Before reading this paper I had already heard about this myth and so I wanted to know what studies had been done to demonstrate that it is false.

Well, personaly I like this paper, I hope that you too........BYE!!!!
