A long time ago, according to what we know about personality and brain hemispheres, that people generally divide into two large groups: those that are analytical, attentive to detail and that logically guide their actions, and those that are more?Subjective?, reflective and that in each human act they imprint their unique imprint of creativity and emotion.
For many years it has been said that people in the first group have preponderance of the left hemisphere, while those in the second group have leadership on the right side, but what does science say now about this myth that was suggested and so well received?One day?
- At the University of Utah.
- Neuroscience scientists discovered.
- Through brain scans.
- That there was no evidence of the predominance of one brain hemisphere over the other.
- A fact that calls into question the popular myth that defended the personality of individuals from the development of our different parts of the brain.
After studying 1011 people, brain studies failed to find a relationship in the use of different hemispheres. The lead author of the study, Jeff Anderson, said that although brain functions take place on one side of the brain (for example, the tongue is on the left side of the brain and the focus on the right side), let’s say people have a larger neural network on the right or left side.
Anderson’s study was based on the use of functional MAGNETIC resonance imaging (known as FRMI), which allowed him to analyze resting brain activity and thus find a correlation between brain regions, which was divided into 7000 zones.
By examining the lateral regions of the brain and looking for connections and combinations, scientists concluded that if there is a connection that lateralizes to the left, there must also be a completely lateralized connection to the right, causing pairs of opposite connections. undoubtedly revolutionary, as they nullifies the ingrained theory of the dominance of one brain hemisphere over the other.
Anderson concludes that because there are no models that show that one hemisphere has a larger government than the other in the neural network, personalities are more likely to have nothing to do with activity or connection between hemispheres.
Now, you know: the next time you’re asked why you have good math or arts skills, you should probably attribute your skills to your own tastes or social environment, because by talking to a ”neuroscientist”, it seems that the hemispheres of your brain have nothing. to do with it.
