Preview: The brain is a very important part of the body. There are many effects that can occur when a brain is damaged. CT, MRI, EEG, and PET scans are some of the procedures that can be done to reveal brain structures. To do this, the instruments used during the procedure electrically stimulate specific areas of the brain. It also records the brain’s electrical activity on the surface. Another interesting fact about brains is the divided brain. The left hemisphere is known to be crucial for language. Research has found that the left hemisphere tends to be more verbal and the right hemisphere is more visual. The functions of both sides come together to complete the brain. There is also the endocrine system which is the body’s slower information system. It accomplishes its tasks by releasing it’s hormones from the endocrine glands.
