The human brain
I have always been interested in how the human body works. One of the reasons to be interested is that I practice sports, so why we sweat, stretch and how we can work out our muscles are intriguing facts about our bodies. Those, among other incredible facts like gestating and breastfeeding when we have babies. Sleeping, dancing, walking and reading are just some of the many activities that have to do with the brain.
Biology and Education are closely related if we analyse the brain activity. As a teacher, when we study the way human beings learn, we study Psychology but unfortunately we didn’t study Neuroscience. Therefore, as this science has always caught my attention I wanted to learn more about it. A couple of years ago, because of the Masters programme I was studying, I had the chance to read lots of interesting papers about how the brain works when we read as well as how the way we stimulate the brain affects our learning process.
The human brain is a complex organ and as human beings we are supposed to be the only ones to know something about the way the brain works. With that skill, Pierre Paul Broca (1824-1880), a French pioneer doctor was able to draw a map of the brain and consequently, he discovered a small area in the left hemisphere, which controls the production of language. Thus, 100 billion neurons in our brains are responsible for language, communication and many other aspects of our lives.
Oh!Definitely it is a interesting theme. I didn´t know that the humans have a hemisphere that control the production of language.

ReplyDeleteIs a interesting topic to talk, I think that is cool the idea to learn everyday something new.
ReplyDeleteI think the same, the brain is the center of our body and it is so complicated to get to understand it,but that makes it even more wonderful
ReplyDeleteHi miss! It really is a very interesting topic! how important it is to be educated, more if it is a matter of our interest.
ReplyDeleteSee you next class.
Regards!
Good afternoon Miss Belén. It was interesting reading, the topic on how the brain works, is a topic that helps us to understand why our body and mind function in a certain way, with respect to the cerebral functions of each hemisphere and how and when they are activated. In my opinion as we know the functioning of the brain, we know how this influences each part of our body and how we can stimulate the brain to encourage our learning process. Is good to kow this topic and is good to learn the function of the brain.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend. See you next class
Hi miss!, You are very right and I have always thought that the human brain is the second heart of our body.
ReplyDeleteHi miss, it is a interesing topic to talk, the human brain is complicated and a mystery in some meaning,
ReplyDeleteSee you soon.
Hello Miss, I believe that the human brain is wonderful and it is incredible what can be discovered, it is great that he likes it so much!
ReplyDeleteHi Teacher! This topic is very interesting, I wonder if we can ever know its operation completely, it's a mystery!
