Everything you wanted to know, but were afraid to ask…

Complex mental activity, such as thought, reason, and abstraction, are consciously controlled by the brain

Involuntary actions such as, heart rate, respiration, and digestion, are unconsciously controlled by the brain.

The human brain regulates virtually all human activity.

The Brain is made of millions of neurons that work together to allow us to reason, experience feelings, understand the world, and remember many pieces of information.

CEREBRUM

CEREBELLUM

BRAINSTEM

“The three major parts of the brain are, the

Cerebrum, the Cerebellum, and the Brainstem”

The Cerebrum generates thoughts and controls

movement

The Cerebrum contains the,

•Frontal – which controls intelligence and personality traits,

•Parietal – which controls movement and touch,

•Temporal – which controls hearing,

•and Occipital Lobes – which controls sight

The right side of the cerebrum controls the muscles on the left side of the

body and vice versa.

The left side of the brain is more influential in science and reasoning.

The right side of the brain is influential over art and imagination

The Cerebellum creates automatic

programs so we can make complex

movements without thinking.

The brain stem connects the brain with the

spinal cord and is composed of 3 structures:

the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.

The brain stem provides us with automatic

functions that are necessary for survival.

MYTH

Learning can be achieved more powerfully through subliminal

techniques

Information that is entirely subliminal cannot be perceived

at all

TRUTH

New neurons can not be created, they only die as one

ages

As a matter of fact, new neurons can grow within the mature adult brain. Brain function and capabilities can actually be learned and developed throughout life.

Hypnosis can lead to perfect recall of details

Memory is not stored as facts, but as impressions and emotions which

are interpreted

The human brain is firm and grey

The fresh/living brain is actually very soft, jellylike, and deep red. It becomes

firm and grey after it has been preserved with chemical
