Understand The Reason Behind Brain Facts And Myths

By Amy Carter


Having a bigger brain does not assure more cognitive power. Many assume that humans are the smartest species on earth. Actually, there are falsehoods or myths that are widely assumed and believed. Some of them depend on a scrap of truth whilst others occur from misinterpretations. However, they disguise themselves as truths are passed along with no questions at all.

Usually, it takes courage to challenge the legitimacy of myths covered in a scientific language. Basically, myths about the brain are quite challenging and difficult since it is not understood by many. Burt as decades pass by, scientists and researchers have started to dishonor some common brain facts and myths.

Here are some myths and the facts behind these common statements. There is a fact that you are using your entire cerebrum. Perhaps, you have heard this myth. This is not true since everyone is using their brains every day. For instance, just reading this article already involves using the occipital and frontal lobes to comprehend while your cerebellum and brain stem help you remain to breathe, seated and circulating blood.

The next thing is that playing a crossword puzzle helps maintain a young functioning cerebrum. Basically, crosswords are not just for fun but also useful in improving your ability to find words. It is helpful to improve cognition and memory of your cerebrum. Some assume that playing the puzzle helps prevent Alzheimer but there is no evidence that could support the claim.

That is because puzzles could only bend a part of the cerebrum which is word finding. Although they help you find words but it does not keep the keenness of the cerebrum in a major sense. There is also a myth that the entire personality of an individual displays both left and right brain dominance. Perhaps you have heard that individuals who are left brained are more logical and technical while the right brained ones are more artistic and creative.

But there is a research that shows two hemispheres working together in a complex processing. Usually, language processing for an instance was once guaranteed to be a great source of the left hemisphere only. But it turns out that it takes place in left and right hemispheres which the left side is best for grammar and pronunciation while the right is meant for intonation.

Another myth is that damage is permanent, but the truth is it can compensate or repair for specific losses and produce new cells. A lot of people once assumed that everyone is born with limited cells and if any of them are damaged, you could not get them back. But now you know that the cerebrum remains intact for a lifetime and generate new cells for some time.

Many people think that taking alcohol kills cells. But this is not true. Moderate drinking will never kill cells but too much drinking can. Alcoholics may also experience damage because of drinking too much alcohol which is the primary cause of damage in the cell communication.

After decades of study, scientists have begun to understand how to develop and design effective tools for keeping and enhancing cerebrum functions. Each exercise is intended to sharpen and speed up the functions. These exercises are proven by researchers to help individuals focus better, think faster, and remember more. These improvements are helpful for whatever matters to you such as friends, family, and work.
