23、f us learn basic facts about the human brain in our middle or high school biology classes. We study the subcortex, the “old brain”, which is found in the brain of most animals and is responsible for basic functions such as breathing, eating, drinking, and sleeping. We learn about the neocortex (大脑皮层

24、), the “new brain”, which is unique to humans and is where complex brain activity takes place. We find that the cerebrum, which is responsible for all active thought, is divided into two parts, or hemispheres. The left hemisphere, generally, manages the right side of the body; it is responsible for

25、logical thinking. The right hemisphere manages the left side of the body; this hemisphere controls emotional, creative, and artistic functions. And we learn that the corpus callosum (胼胝体) is the “bridge” that connects the two hemisphere. Memorizing the names for parts of the brain might not seem thr

26、illing to many students, but new discoveries in brain function are exciting. Recent research is teaching us a lot about creativity, memory, the differences between men and women, and the relationship between mind and body.Left Brain/Right Brain: Creativity Psychologists agree that most of us have cr

27、eative ability that is greater than what we use in daily life. In other words, we can be more creative than we realize! The problem is that we use mainly one hemisphere of our brain - the left. From childhood, in school, were taught reading, writing, and mathematics; we are exposed to very little mu

28、sic or art. Therefore, many of us might not “exercise” our right hemisphere much, except through dreams, symbols, and those wonderful insights in which we suddenly find the answer to a problem that has been bothering us and do so without the need for logic. Can we be taught to use our right hemisphe

29、re more? Many experts believe so. Classes at some schools and books (such as “The Inner Game of Tennis and Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain”) claim to help people to “silence” the left hemisphere and give the right a chance to work.Memory - True or False In the 1980s in the United States, ther

30、e were many cases of adults who suddenly remembered, with the help of a psychologist, things that had happened to them in childhood. These memories had been repressed - held back - for many years. Some of these newly discovered memories have sent people to prison. As people remember crimes (such as

31、murder or rape) that they saw or experienced as children, the police have reopened and investigated old criminal cases. In fact, over 700 cases have been filled that are based on these repressed memories. However, new studies in 1990s suggest that many of these might be false memories. At a 1994 conference at Harvard Medical School, neuroscie
