Our brain


Our brain: 
Our right brain is used for many different things like: 
-Rhythm
-Seeing color
-Listening to music
-Day dreaming 

People who are right-brained may have some of the following traits:
-Prefer physical instructions
-Good at sports
-Good at art
-Enjoy goofing around
-May be able to do many things at once
-Might prefer hanging out in a group of people
-May like to dream about things that will probably never happen
-Sometimes like organizing things
-May memorize music easily
-Some enjoy daydreaming
-May like to act out stories
-May enjoy hanging out with people
-May think better when lying down
-Become restless during long speeches or explanations (That is me for sure! :D)
-Enjoy creative storytelling
-Sometimes are good at being able to tell the similarities between ideas
-Rather summarizing instead of outlining
-Might solve problems easier by instinct 
-Can be very unpredictable

I am right-brained but many people aren't.
If you are left-brained you basically have the opposite traits that a right-brainer may have but you can also have the same traits as them too! 

There are many more important different parts of your brain, the Frontal lobe. There is also the Temporal lobe, and the Cerebellum.
The frontal lobe is used for creativity, imagination, and when you are reading a book guessing what the next page is going to say. As the name sort of gives away its location it is in the front of the brain. 
The temporal lobe is used for speech, language, organization, and arguing with someone. This is located in the center of the brain. Deep in the temporal there is something called an amygdala. This is a very important part of your body! If you don't have it, it can mess up the way your brain processes your memories. It also gives us the ability to respond emotionally like crying, running away from something scary, dodging something that is being tossed toward you, and it also reacts to different things emotionally. Without it we would be... let's just say, confused.
Another really important part of the brain is the cerebellum. This is used for balance, the position your body is in, standing up straight, and playing sports or even just running around. The Cerebellum is located in the the bottom of the brain. Here is a diagram that I drew of where these parts are located!
