The human brain
I have always been interested in how the human body works. One of the reasons to be interested is that I practice sports, so why we sweat, stretch and how we can work out our muscles are intriguing facts about our bodies. Those, among other incredible facts like gestating and breastfeeding when we have babies. Sleeping, dancing, walking and reading are just some of the many activities that have to do with the brain.
Biology and Education are closely related if we analyse the brain activity. As a teacher, when we study the way human beings learn, we study Psychology but unfortunately we didn’t study Neuroscience. Therefore, as this science has always caught my attention I wanted to learn more about it. A couple of years ago, because of the Masters programme I was studying, I had the chance to read lots of interesting papers about how the brain works when we read as well as how the way we stimulate the brain affects our learning process.
The human brain is a complex organ and as human beings we are supposed to be the only ones to know something about the way the brain works. With that skill, Pierre Paul Broca (1824-1880), a French pioneer doctor was able to draw a map of the brain and consequently, he discovered a small area in the left hemisphere, which controls the production of language. Thus, 100 billion neurons in our brains are responsible for language, communication and many other aspects of our lives.
Hi, Belén, I'm surprised! I never thought that you're interested in this kind of things!
ReplyDeleteAmazing how we are the only ones who know something about how brain works!
ReplyDeleteps: my blog is s-erendipit-y and not s-erendit-y :(
Wow Belén! I never imagined that you were interested in the study of neurosciences, that's amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt was really interesting the topic that speak. With a lot of data that I did no know, and the data of 100 billion neurons was very surprising.
ReplyDeleteHi, Belén! is amazing your interest for this thing. This matters are really difficult for me.
ReplyDeleteI like that you like these kind of things, the study of neurosciences is so intense and wonderful!
ReplyDeleteoh teacher, maybe I could have studied something related to the mind, like psychology or psychiatry

ReplyDeleteHi Belén! The human brain is full of conections, so when we are learning something it is full of activity! That is a really interesting thing to see when doctors use technology to see the electricity of our nerves in the brain!
It is interesting that you know about the body exercises! I would like to learn sometime
ReplyDeleteHi teacher..
ReplyDeleteyour post is very interesting! the human brain is a something very enjoyable
Hello Belén!
ReplyDeleteI like Me too the neuroscience and human brain, I even before thought study neurology.
