Brain Structure and its
Functions
Human brain is divided into two
parts the old (original) brain
and the new brain. Old brain is
actually the basic equation of
genetic factors. It multiplies
the division from only 0.23 cm
in conceive until more than 10
thousand million of brain cells
in the 7th months of pregnancy.

As we grow
older, the old brain becomes smaller.
Generally, the basic nervous tissues in
our brain are the subsidiaries, which
are inherited and are only able to do
some minor activities such as hoarse cry
and making sounds while sleeping. The
nerve liaison net will develop quickly
during the growing period in babies,
infants and juveniles. The old brain is
more primitive and it is responsible for
some undetectable physiological
activities, for example, controlling the
body temperature, blood pressure,
chemical equilibrium, digestion process,
emotion and sub-consciousness. It is
also called the “sub-conscious brain” or
“lower brain” because of its lower
location in the overall brain.
The bigger
part of the brain known as cerebrum can
be divided into two major parts. The
left hemisphere and the right
hemisphere. Both the brains are located
at the upper right and upper left of the
cerebrum. They are also called the
“conscious brains” or “new brains” which
are the ones where evolution takes
place. They are responsible for the
intellectual activities. |

According to analysis done by
Nobel Prize winner in 1981, Dr.
Roger Sperry from the University
of California and Dr. Robert
Ornstein, a psychologist and
brain researcher at Stanford
University, our cerebrum is
divided into right brain and
left-brain. The left-brain is in
charge of the logic, literate,
numerical, analytical,
sequential, facts and
remembrance and the right brain
is responsible for colour,
music, imagination, senses,
rhyming, daydreaming, pattern
and overall thinking. |

Some
people, especially children still
possess intuition image, which enables
them to remember certain objects even
after just giving the object a quick
glance. This kind of memory is called
“parallel conducted memory” or “overall
conducted memory”. This ability to
remember can be acquired through
training of the right hemisphere of the
brain. Such a kind of memory would
require only 1% of our time and energy
to remember things in our minds. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
However,
the left-brain obtains its memory only
through a theoretical sequence. Thus it
takes longer time to remember. This
“contractual conducted memory” causes
students to spend longer time in their
learning and thus proves to be
inefficient. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
Since time
immemorial, our educational systems have
only concentrated on the development of
the left-brain; such as reading,
writing, calculating, analyzing and
logical and theoretical academics.
Whereas some training for the right
brain such as music, mental arithmetic,
art and handicrafts has been ignored
says Dr. Robert B. Stone, University of
Hawaii. |

In this
generation where we see technologies
change every now and then, the goal at
UCMAS is to develop the cerebrum as a
whole and not merely educate the
left-brain. |

Did you
know?
-
80% of
the world's people have a more
developed left-brain.
-
The
right brain has a "high-speed,
high-capacity memory" mechanism.
