Modern Myths About the Brain
![Page 3: Module 5. Modern Myths About the Brain Myth #1: People only use 10% of their brain While not all of the brain is active all at once, functional magnetic](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649f165503460f94c2c3f7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Myth #1: People only use 10% of their brain
• While not all of the brain is active all at once, functional magnetic resonance images (fMRI) show several brain areas are at work for any given activity, depending on what function is needed.
![Page 4: Module 5. Modern Myths About the Brain Myth #1: People only use 10% of their brain While not all of the brain is active all at once, functional magnetic](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081516/56649f165503460f94c2c3f7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Myth #2: Alcohol kills brain cells
• A lack of thiamine (vitamin B) causes temporary damage to dendrites the message-relaying neurons.
• This reaction accounts for slurred speech, stumbling, and ill-advised public urination.
• No damage is actually incurred by the brain cells themselves, and the dendrites eventually recover

MYTH #3: Your brain is all grey
It is grey, white, red, and black. •Grey matter is, in fact, mostly grey. •white matter in the form of connective nerve fibers. •black part, called substantia nigra (“black substance”)•And the red? •That’s blood.

MYTH #4: Subliminal messages work on your brain without you knowing it
• 1957, market researcher inserted messages urging moviegoers to purchase soda and popcorn into a film in New Jersey.
• appeared for no longer than 1/300 of a second• reported that Coca Cola and popcorn sales increased to
the tune of 18 percent and 57 percent, respectively?• 1990 Judas Priest trial, in which the suicides of two
teenagers were blamed on subliminal messages in the band’s lyrics,
• all concluded that no scientific evidence

Myth #5: Brain Damage Is Always Permanent
In some instances, the brain can repair itself.
the brain creates new pathways between neurons
the phenomenon of brain plasticitystroke patients, for example, can regain
speech and motor skills through therapy.

Myth #7: Your brain hurts when you have a headache
It's not your brain that's hurting when you get a headache – without pain receptors, your brain can't feel any pain.

History of the Mind
Franz Gall suggested, that the study of bumps on the skull represented mental abilities.
His theory though incorrect, nevertheless proposed different mental abilities were modular.

Cerebral Features:
• Sulci – Small grooves dividing the gyri– Central Sulcus – Divides the Frontal Lobe from the Parietal Lobe
• Fissures – Deep grooves, generally dividing large regions/lobes of the brain
– Longitudinal Fissure – Divides the two Cerebral Hemispheres– Transverse Fissure – Separates the Cerebrum from the Cerebellum– Sylvian/Lateral Fissure – Divides the Temporal Lobe from the Frontal and Parietal Lobes
• Gyri – Elevated ridges “winding” around the brain.
