Objective/Background Tactile perception is a basic way to obtain and evaluate information about an object. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of tactile perception on brain activation using two different tactile explorations, passive and active touches, in individuals with chronic hemiparetic stroke. Methods Twenty patients who were diagnosed with stroke (8 right brain damaged, 12 left brain damaged) participated in this study. The tactile perception was conducted using passive and active explorations in a sitting position. To determine the neurological changes in the brain, this study measured the brain waves of the participants using electroencephalography (EEG). Results The relative power of the sensory motor rhythm on the right prefrontal lobe and right parietal lobe was significantly greater during the active tactile exploration compared to the relative power during the passive exploration in the left damaged hemisphere. Most of the measured brain areas showed nonsignificantly higher relative power of the sensory motor rhythm during the active tactile exploration, regardless of which hemisphere was damaged. Conclusion The results of this study provided a neurophysiological evidence on tactile perception in individuals with chronic stroke. Occupational therapists should consider an active tactile exploration as a useful modality on occupational performance in rehabilitation training.

God created humans as the most special creation compared to His other creations. Human intelligence is caused by one organ which, although small in size, has a very vital role, namely the brain. Advances in knowledge and technology have encouraged scientists to try solving the mysteries of the brain. Many studies have focused on the right brain and left brain, or to balance the right brain and left brain. But in recent years, there has been a training/self-development institute who stated that they had found a way to balance the right and left brain, namely by activating the midbrain. This midbrain activation method is aimed at children aged 5-15 years because it is considered that children at this age are more easily activated in a very short time through a computer.The method used in writing this work is a Literature Study that contains various information on matters related to the topic of discussion. In addition to using literature, writing will be complemented by field research, using a Check List to interview respondents. The research approach used are qualitative and quantitative approach. A The qualitative approach obtains data regarding respondent's experiences. This writing has the aim of finding ( knowing ) whether the Midbrain Activation system is in accordance with God's Word or against God's Word; to open the horizons of parents, congregations and even readers of this paper, especially those with children, so that they can be more careful in choosing training for their children.

This article presents a more theoretical discussion of the use of the microcomputer, selective computer graphics programs, as basic experiences which relate as much to right as to the left side of the brain. It reviews some selected research literature in art education which shows the importance of the right brain in various areas of creative behavior and drawing skills, and argues that while the computer has been shown as the sine qua non of left brain activity, conceptual and analytical thought processes, one can also approach it from a right brain perspective. This article details a personal experience of the use of computer with the right brain approach in computer graphics and computer assisted design.

The program to strengthen the concept of genetic intelligence as a concept to improve student soft skills was chosen as one of the concepts and methods to be used for student entrepreneurial development using the experiential learning model. Experiential learning approach is a learning approach where knowledge is constructed through experience transformation. In the concept of genetic intelligence or familiar with the term STIFIn Concept, there are 5 parts of the brain, namely Sensing, Thinking, Intuiting, Feeling and Instinct. The brain turns out to have different parts and chemistry. The results of the STIFIn Concept analysis are knowing the dominance of a person's right or left brain, so that it can be the basis for choosing the right field of entrepreneurship, business partners and business mentors according to their genetic intelligence.

The changes in activity of monoaminergic systems of both the right and the left brain hemispheres of the BALB/c male mice after an acute hypoxia with hypercapnia were studied. The concentrations of dopamine, serotonin and their metabolites dihydroxyphenylacetic, homovanilic and 5-hydroxyindolacetic acids were measured by HPLC in the brain cortex, hippocampus and striatum of the right and the left hemispheres. The more high concentration of serotonin was revealed only in the cortex of the left hemisphere in control mice without hypoxia with hypercapnia. The asymmetry in dopamine level was not registered in all structures studied. Acute hypoxia with hypercapnia decreased the dopamine level in the striatum and the serotonin level both in the hippocampus and the brain cortex. The dopamine metabolites level was reduced in the striatum and in the brain cortex of hypoxed mice: both metabolites in the right brain cortex and only dihydroxyphenylacetic acid in the left brain cortex. Serotonin metabolism was decreased in all brain structures studied after hypoxia with hypercapnia in mice. Therefore, serotoninergic system of the brain is more sensitive to acute hypoxia with hypercapnia than dopaminergic system.

Abstract The persistence of embryonic cerebral vessels in the adult is not a frequent occurrence, neither is the presence of multifocal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the brain. The most commonly reported type of persistent carotid-basilar anastomosis is the primitive trigeminal artery, followed by the primitive hypoglossal artery (PHA). In this report. a 30-year-old, right-handed woman hospitalized because of subarachnoid hemorrhage and harboring an intracerebral-intraventricular hematoma resulting from the rupture of one of two independent AVMs of the left cerebral hemisphere, was found also to have a right persistent PHA. One AVM was intraventricular and had ruptured: the other was subcortical, intact in the parietal lobe. The PHA originated as a large anomalous branch of the right internal carotid artery in the neck and joined the basilar artery after entering the posterior fossa through the ipsilateral anterior condyloid foramen, which was enlarged. At craniotomy, the two AVMs were successfully excised with the aid of microsurgical technique. These two independently rare conditions, namely, multifocal cerebral AVMs and persistent PHA, warrant our desire to report this case.

It is well known that there are functional differences between right and left brain hemispheres. However, it is not clear whether these functional differences are reflected in morphometric differences. This study was carried out to investigate the right-left asymmetry, and sex and species differences of the brains using the Cavalieri principle for volume estimation. Seventeen lambs, 10 rats and 12 avian brains were used to estimate brain volumes. A transparent point grid was superimposed on the slices of lamb brains directly and the slices of the rat and avian brains were projected onto a screen at 10x magnification. Surface areas of the cut slice faces were estimated by simply counting the points that hit the slices. Mean brain volumes were 37.74 cm3, 598.95 mm3 and 730.38 mm3 and the coefficients of variations were 0.08, 0.05 and 0.05 for lamb, rat and avian brains respectively. The differences between left and right hemispheres did not show statistical significance (P > 0.05). However, the male brain volumes were larger than the females for the lamb and bird (P < 0.05). In light of such findings, it will be necessary to evaluate neuron number of the brain hemispheres to provide more useful data regarding inter-hemispheric brain asymmetry.
