Hello!!
This blog session I will talk about a neuromyth that I think that is very interesting. In the document the myth says that a person is a left-brain or a right-brain depending on the person's personality. The brain is divided in 2 hemispheres (right and left) and these are more specialised in certain functions. The left hemisphere (a left-brain) is related to rational thinking, intellectual thinking, analysis and speech and processes of numerical information. While the right hemisphere is related to intuition, emotion, non-verbal thinking , synthetic thinking which allows representations in space, creation and emotions.
The myth says that if you are, for example, an intellectual and rational person, you are a left-brain because you "preferentially use" that hemisphere
I think that this myth is false, because all the neuro-system is interconnected, in fact the right hemisphere is connected to the left by some structures like the corpus callosum, and studies show that one neuron has synapses with 10000 another neurons of both hemispheres. I think that all the neuro-system is active because all the connections, but, for example, if you are an intellectual and rational person, there will be a "little" domain of your left hemisphere, but both will be active and working together, because we need the 2 hemispheres to integrate the information, the emotions, talk and understand the details, etc.
Well friends I hope that you understand what I want to say and you like it.
