What else can I help you with?
What hemisphere of the brain would be able to retrieve a person's name from memory?
The brain's right hemisphere controls non-visual memory, and the retention of non-visual information, so the right hemisphere of the brain would be the one that would be involved with the retrieval of a person's name from his or her memory.
Which hemisphere of the brain most involved in preserving one's sense of identity or self is?
The right hemisphere of the brain is more involved in preserving one's sense of identity or self. This hemisphere is associated with introspection, emotional processing, and the integration of experiences that contribute to a person's sense of self-awareness and identity.
What terms refers to one halves of the brain?
Right, or left hemisphere.
Definition of a hemispere?
A hemisphere is half of a sphere, usually referring to one of the two halves of the Earth divided by the equator (Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere) or one of the two halves of the brain divided by the longitudinal fissure (left hemisphere and right hemisphere).
The idea that specific psychological or cognitive functions are processed primarily on one side of the brain is called?
lateralization. This concept suggests that different functions or processes are predominantly located in one hemisphere of the brain, such as language in the left hemisphere and spatial abilities in the right hemisphere.
What connects one gyrus to another within the same hemisphere?
The sulci, which are grooves in the brain's surface, connect one gyrus to another within the same hemisphere. They divide the brain's cortex into distinct regions.
Where are the lateral ventricles located in the brain?
The lateral ventricles are located in the center of the brain, one in each hemisphere. They are the largest ventricles and are responsible for producing and circulating cerebrospinal fluid throughout the brain and spinal cord.
What part of the brain controls knowledge?
Since there are two cerebral hemispheres, and also two hands (in a normal person) it works out very neatly; each side of the brain controls one hand. The left cerebral hemisphere controls the right hand, and the right cerebral hemisphere controls the left hand.
What do the hemispheres in the brain control?
The left hemisphere of the human brain controls language, and thinking skills, and the right hemisphere controls all motor functions. Any thought that person has is derived from the left hemisphere of that person's brain. If a person is speaking, the words are being formed in the left hemiphere, but in order for the mouth to open and for the tongue and lips to move in order to be able to speak the words, the right hemisphere needs to work. If a person picks up a ball and then throws it, that person's brain's right hemisphere was working. A person reaches out and touches a pan. The pan is on the stove and is very hot, and when the person touches it, that person's hand jerks away from it. The arm reaching out to touch the pan was a voluntary action, but the hand jerking away was a reflex, which is an involuntary action. Involuntary actions or movements are not controlled by the brain at all. A reflex is when the nerves detect something harmful (i.e. skin contact to a hot object, or cutting one's self against something sharp accidentally) and the nerves in the spine detect the nerve impulses and automatically send a new impules to the motor nerves of the muscle that can move the body away from harm (i.e. the hand touching something hot and then being jerked away).
How does focal epilepsy show up on EEG?
In focal epilepsy, spikes are restricted to one hemisphere of the brain.
What is cerebral dominance?
The brain hemisphere is located on the left side of the corpus collasum. This is responsible for regulating the activities on the right part of the body. Brain hemisphere is also responsible for speech and language functions.
Who is directly attached to the brain?
Only one person is attached per human brain. Each individual person is attached to their own brain.
