Our.. special? brain

Hi everyone, today I’m going to talk about “Dr. Pedro Maldonado’s talk”

Before of Dr. Maldonado’s presentation, I believed a lot of myths about the brain, for example I thought that the brain is similar to computer or that brain assimilates reality, but now I think that I was so wrong!

Honesty, I always thought that humans have a more developed brain. But I never stopped for to think that in reality, the composition of our brain in comparation of other species is the same, but are different sizes. Now I think that each species has a brain and uses it according to its needs, after all what matters is to survive, right? Hahaha

I was surprised to realize that the brain does not perceive reality as it is, it can be fooled (for example, not realizing that a gorilla is walking in front of you ..) this is very interesting because for little details we can perceive other reality and make mistakes or something wrong for to be concentrated in other things. Other topic very curious is the percentage of our brain that we use, destroy the myth that say "we use only 10% of our brain" left me very.. sad? shocked?, I thought that geniuses were those who used more than 10% of their brain, but now I have really clear that everyone use our whole brain. Whether this is good or bad .. I don’t know ..

However, I think that is very important to know what of all that the people say about the brain is truth, especially we, because we’ll be health workers, and is the brain whose coordinates the entire body. Also as future midwives, we must know how to educate mothers on how to stimulate, develop baby's brain, responding with the truth.

What do you think about it?

See you!
