The brain has its own functions and is divided into two hemispheres: the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. Furthermore, it has its own way of processing information, and each lobe has its own specific roles. What happens when brain damage occurs? How do you reconnect to process information or learn new tasks?. Damage to each hemisphere of the brain has different effects on how individuals learn because each hemisphere is responsible for different functions. Additionally, the brain processes information differently depending on a person's learning style. First, let's explore the functions of each hemisphere of the brain and how it works. The left hemisphere is associated with logic. The right hemisphere of the brain is related to being emotional. It is known that the majority of the population is right-handed; therefore, the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body. The human brain is a very complex organ. Communication between these two hemispheres occurs via a series of electrical and chemical signals between neurons; the electrical process communicates through the movement of four ions: sodium, potassium, calcium and chloride. On the other hand, the process of chemical communication contains chemical messengers such as dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and acetylcholine, to name a few (Wolfe, 2010). After recalling some fundamental points on the transmission of communication between neurons, let's focus on learning and the brain. More profoundly, learning plays a role in the growth of brain cells. Dendrites sprout from the cell body of a neuron which increases in size and number in response to learned skills (Willis, 2008). Additionally, Willis (2008) mentions that learning… middle of paper…American Speech Language Hearing Association (2012).
