Zinātniski pierādīts ir tikai tas, ka sievietes smadzenes ir mazākas, ar visām, no tā izrietošām sekām!
% lieta it mīts, ķermenis izmanto smadzenes uz pilno, katram to regionam ir noteikta funkcija, ne visas smadzeņu daļas ir iesaistītas domāšanas processā, tās nodrošina kontroli par vairākām ķermeņa funkcijām.
The 10 percent myth
It is true that many organs have more capacity than we actually need on a day-to-day basis. You can have an entire lung or kidney removed and get along fine without them. You can do without your appendix, your thymus and your spleen. There's skin, intestines and bone marrow to spare, as well.
But that's not true of the brain. Brain scans, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET) show that humans regularly use all of the brain. Some parts may be more active at any given time or during a particular activity. Some parts of the brain may be less critical than others for vital functions, such as breathing, speaking, understanding or walking. But no part of the brain is known to be completely unused or unnecessary.
I’m not sure where the “10 percent myth” came from, but I do know that when the myth first began, doctors and scientists had no reliable way to measure how much of the brain was used. Even now, MRI and PET scans don't provide a perfect estimate of how much of the brain is being used at any one time. After all, it's not as if we can count brain cells and measure their activity like we can count hits on a Web site. Plus, when an area of the brain is active during a particular activity, not every cell in that area is being used. But that’s not the same as saying that those cells are never used.
