Myths and truth about the human brain!

Hey all
In this occasion I going to talk about the esposiscion made by Dr. Pedro Maldonado, teacher of physiology of the Faculty of Medicine of University of Chile. the topic was "Myths and truth about the human brain".
Dr. Maldonado commented about some myths that exist about the human brain:
one the myths was : “the human brain is different to the other animals” he said that this was false, because the human brain have the same structures that have other animals as squirrel, monkey , dolphin, etc, the difference is that while the animal is more evolved he have more furrow in your cortex.
Other myth that he denied was : “for each activity we use a part of the brain”, this is false because the brain activate a lot of parts, when we read, think, or simply see, listen in fact when we don´t make anything, the brain have activity too. the brain never rests not even when we sleep. Also he denied the possibility that “we use the 10% of the capacity of our brain”, because we use all the capacity of our brain but on different moments, also exist different studies show the different mental capacities between mens and womens generaly men have much more ability in math than women.
Other myth very popular denied is that "the brain is like a computer". becouse the human brain has incredible capabilities of association, memory, processing feelings that do not have any computer machine.
In my opinion is very important know mechanism of the human brain becouse determined the behavior of the people.
bye see you :D
