THE HUMAN BRAINS BEHIND SUCCESS
We are taking a journey to knowing the brains responsible for success in our journey of life as humans ##.

Ride on keenly with me as I lead you through.
Dramatic Revelation
Before now, the Greek Philosophyer, Aristotle, believed that the Center Thought lay in the heart while the brain helped to control the body and so that's why the heart is the object of many of our expressions of emotion. This may seem ridiculous to us now, but many experts, as recently as the 19th Century still agreed with Aristotle. But everyone understands better.
The 1962 Discovery
In 1962, a brain researcher, Roger Sperry, won a Nobel Prize for Indentifying that the two hemispheres of the brain's cerebral cortex are responsible for Separate Intellectual Functions.
Further more, Advanced Technology is now allowing us to see how the brain operates, our real understanding of brain function is still very basic, though.
The Left Brain
This is where the language and vocabulary are located and particularly for men.
The Right Brain stores and controls Visual Information.
People who are left-handed have a biase towards the right hemisphere, which is the creative side of the brain. It is for this reason that there is a disproportionate number of left-handers who are artistic geniuses, including the following nut not limited to these renown persona: Albert Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, Lewis Carroll, Greta Garbo, Robert De Niro and Paul McCartney.
There are more left-handed women than men and 90% of all people are right-handed. Most men are very capable with their right arm and hand but are not as good with their left. For the males, the right arm needs to be accurate at throwing objects at a moving target and to defend the front of the body from attack, more than 90% of the time his first move will be a right side, over-arm blow.
What's Where In The Brain
Here is a commonly held view of which side of the brain controls which function.
While research and understanding of the human brain is in the increase every day, there are varying interpretations of the results. But there are several areas on which Scientists and Researchers do agree. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) which measures the electrical activity in the brain, it is now possible to identify and measure the exact location of the many specific functions in the brain. With brain scanning equipment,
we can see which scan shows a specific location for a skill or function, it means that the person will be good at performing that skill that they enjoy doing it and are attracted to occupations and pursuits that allow them to use it.
### THE TWO SIDES OF BRAIN ###

*Left Hemisphere* & *Right Hemisphere*
Lefft Hemisphere controls the Right Side of the body and does the following functions:
Logic, Facts, Order, Mathematics,
Practical, Analysis, Verbal, Lineal, Deduction
Words of a Song, and Sees Fine Details.
Right Hemisphere controls the left side of the body and does the following functions:
Creative, Artistic, Visual, Intuition, Ideas,
Imagination, Holistic, Tune of a Song,
Sees Big Picture, Spatial, Multiprocessing.
Examples
Men
For instance, have a specific brain location for sensing direction so they find easy to do. Most men do this. They enjoy planning direction and are drawn to pursuits and pastimes that allow them to use abilities such as navigation and orientation.
Women
Women have specific areas for speech. They are good at it can do it with ease and are attracted to fields that allow them to make use of this strength, such as therapy, counseling and teaching.
Where there is no clear brain location for a certain skill, it usually means that a person is not naturally good at, or does not enjoy tasks that make use of that skill.
This is why it's hard to locate female navigators.
Where Brain Research Began
The first recorded scientific tests into differences between the sexes were held at the Museum of London by Francis Galton in 1882. He found that me have better sensitivity to bright sounds - be it shrill or high-picthed blues - had a stronger hand grip and were less sensitivity to pain than women.
At a time in America, a similar study found that men preferred red to blue , had a larger vocabulary and preferred solving technical problems to domestic one. Women could hear more acutely, used more words than men and preferred working on individual tasks and problems.
Early research into the specific location of brain functions came from brain-damaged patients.
It was found that Men who suffered injury to the left side of the brain has lost more or all of their speech and vocabulary skills, and stand a chance of becoming mute. Whereas women who were similarly brain-damaged did not suffer speech loss to the same extent, indicating that women have than one centrer for speech. So if she is hit in left side of the head, she keeps on talking.
To Buttress The Above
A professor of Psychology, Doreen Kimura, at the University of Western Ontario, found that speech disorders occur in men when the left side only of the brain is damaged, but occur in women only when the frontal lobe of either hemisphere is damage.
CONCLUSION
How the brain is Analysed
Since early 1990s, brain-scanning equip has developed to the point where it is now possible to see your brain operating life on a telvesion screen using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Marcus Raichle of the Washington University's School of Medicine measured specific areas of increased metabolism in the brain to pinpoint the exact areas that are used for specific skills and these are shown in this diagram:
Steemit is going places.
