Myths and Truth about the Human Brain

Hello to all, I am going to talk today about the presentation of the Dr. Maldonado of the last week about “Myths and Truth about the Human Brain”. For us, as health professionals, is very important know about the Human Brain.
The first myth that Dr. Maldonado presented is: “The human brain is different from the brain of the others animals”, the doctor said that is false because the animals brains and the human brain are very similar, the only difference is the size of the cortex, the human brain has a longest cortex than animal brain and the human brain has more neurons.
The other myth: “Every brain functions are localized in a specific place of the brain”, this is false because we use different part of the brain to do the same action.
The next myth: “The brain is like computer”, it is very false because the human brain has a distributed memory and the computer has a localized memory, and the human brain can do a lot of functions at the same time while the computer can do only one action.
Other myth: “We use only 10% of our brain”, it is absolutely false because our brain have plasticity for this the brain can adapt to different function also for the same action different part of the brain can activate to do this action.
The knowledge of the structure and function of the human brain is very important in our career because we need know this to educate the pregnant about the early stimulation that is important to the development of the fetus brain.
