The Myths We Love to Believe about the Brain and Some Startling Discoveries
Just how many of your beliefs about the brain are
myths? How would you know? There is so much
speculation and erroneous information in the media
about the way the brain works and how it processes
information to enable us to learn, remember, think,
and experience motivation and emotions. It is often
difficult to distinguish between myths and valid
knowledge about brain function. In order to differentiate
myth from scientifically demonstrated principles,
we will study some simple principles of brain organization
and function, and some very important critical
behavioral and cognitive experiments, observations,
and discoveries.
