Chapter 4 How Does the Brain Work?

2019.8.4

Mom is teaching Peng Peng how to use his brain to solve a problem that has always existed. He asks the question: How do people control their brains? This is a good question, but my mother can't answer it. Let's go to Baidu to find the answer together.

How exactly does the brain work? The human brain is made up of two hemispheres, the left brain directs the activity of the right half of the body, and the right brain directs the activity of the left half of the body. This was the earliest conclusion reached by ancient Egypt. Because they found that when one side of the brain is injured, the movement of the other side of the body is affected. By 1836, a Frenchman named Maheck Dax pointed out; People with paralysis in the right half of the body often suffer from aphasia at the same time, but people with paralysis in the left half can still speak. He believed that the left side of the brain not only directs the activity of the right half of the body, but is also related to speech. Peng Peng said: I can speak, my left brain is okay. Dax's assumption is correct. Experiments have shown that 90 percent of people are directed by the left brain. In addition to directing language, the left brain is also responsible for analytical tasks such as logical reasoning, mathematical calculations, writing, etc. Peng Peng also said: I am very good at writing, so there should be no problem for me to learn mathematics.

The right side of the brain is concerned with spatial concepts, recognition, ideation, music, color recognition, and intuitive thinking and creativity. Based on these, it is not difficult to explain why people with right brain injuries lose their ability to appreciate music, while people with left brain injuries and speech skills still sing. Reading this, Peng Peng said: I like to enjoy music, and there is no problem with my right brain.

In this process of understanding the work of the brain, Peng Peng slowly gained confidence in himself. I also began to reflect.

That's how I slowly grew up with Peng Peng. We identify a problem, think about it, and then look for a solution.

Dad also added to our topic, and he asked: Why do you think that Tang Bao's child, who is not much like you, looks naïve? Peng Peng thought for a while and said: Because the thinking is different. Oh, yes! If you always think that Tang Bao can't reach a certain height, he can really only be what you imagine.
