Managers all over the world each day combat the challenges associated with Managing the workforce. In order to unravel their truest potential managers have to understand them and motivate or sometimes above that i.e. to ignite the spark that gives the momentum to their capabilities that make them productive and give them an everlasting happiness.Management is termed as Right brain activity. It involves dealing with the human mind and emotions which are very complex and variable unlike the scientific method which we perceive management to be.In order to check the co-relation of the right and left brain people research was carried out. This study was conducted with approximately 50 Business students with a survey, as well as a comprehensive review and analysis of literature concerning the brain.This study would help the instructors to understand the fact Management is not a science and based on the number of left or right Brain students the current teaching methodology of Business students can either be revised or transformed altogether.

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.

SUMMARY The pigeon's use of different visuo-spatial cues was studied under controlled laboratory conditions that simulated analogous aspects of a homing situation. The birds first learned the route to a goal that was not visible from the starting location, but became visible as it was approached. Birds could orientate within a mainly geometric global reference frame, using prominent landmarks within their range, or by `piloting' along local cues. After learning the route, the birds were tested from familiar and unfamiliar release points, and several aspects of the available cues were varied systematically. The study explored the contribution of the left and right brain hemispheres by performing tests with the right or left eye occluded. The results show that pigeons can establish accurate bearings towards a non-visible goal by using a global reference frame only. Furthermore, there was a peak of searching activity at the location predicted by the global reference frame. Search at this location and directedness of the bearings were equally high with both right and left eye, suggesting that both brain hemispheres have the same competence level for these components of the task. A lateralization effect occurred when prominent landmarks were removed or translated. While the right brain hemisphere completely ignored such changes,the left brain hemisphere was distracted by removal of landmarks. After translation of landmarks, the left but not the right brain hemisphere allocated part of the searching activity to the site predicted by the new landmark position. The results show that a mainly geometric global visual reference frame is sufficient to determine exact bearings from familiar and unfamiliar release points. Overall, the results suggest a model of brain lateralization with a well-developed global spatial reference system in either hemisphere and an extra capacity for the processing of object features in the left brain.

Insight Into

We know little about the neurologic bases of art production. The idea that the right brain hemisphere is the “artistic brain” is widely held, despite the lack of evidence for this claim. Artists with brain damage can offer insight into these laterality questions. The authors used an instrument called the Assessment of Art Attributes to examine the work of two individuals with left-brain damage and one with right-hemisphere damage. In each case, their art became more abstract and distorted and less realistic. They also painted with looser strokes, less depth and more vibrant colors. No unique pattern was observed following right-brain damage. However, art produced after left-brain damage also became more symbolic. These results show that the neural basis of art production is distributed across both hemispheres in the human brain.

The Brain

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.

Abstract Glioblastoma is a lethal brain tumor, heavily infiltrated by tumor-associated myeloid cells (TAMCs). As up to 30% of a glioma cellular mass may be attributed to immunosuppressive myeloid cells, including myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). TAMCs impede natural and immunotherapy-driven anti-tumor responses, they are a high-priority and promising therapeutic target currently being evaluated in clinical trials. Multiple preclinical and clinical trials have attempted to target these cells, however monitoring of biologic responses to therapy remains a challenge. Quantifying real time status of MDSCs and TAMs at the tumor site using non-invasive immunoPET could improve therapeutic response and allow for better patient stratification and monitoring of targeted treatment responses. TAMCs highly expressed the cell surface marker, integrin CD11b (Mac-1, αMβ2) and may be a highly effective imaging target for immunoPET strategies. The human/mouse cross-reactive anti-CD11b antibody (clone M1/70) was radiolabeled with 89Zr for PET imaging. PET/CT imaging, with or without a blocking dose of anti-CD11b Ab, was performed in mice bearing established orthotopic syngeneic GL261 gliomas. Flow cytometry and histology in tissues collected from post-imaging biodistribution validated targeting of CD11b+ MDSCs and TAMs. There was significant Zr-89-anti-CD11b Ab uptake in the tumor ipsilateral right brain (SUVmean = 2.6 ± 0.24) compared to contralateral left brain (SUVmean = 0.6 ± 0.11). Blocking with 10-fold lower specific activity 89Zr-anti-CD11b Ab reduced the SUV in right brain with (SUVmean = 0.11 ± 0.06). Immune rich organs spleen and lymph nodes showed high uptake. These results correlated with biodistribution analysis. CD11b expression in the right and left brain were validated using flow cytometry, H&E and IHC, showing high CD11b expression in the right brain. Imaging TAMs and MDSCs with 89Zr-labeled anti-CD11b Ab targeting was validated in a mouse model of malignant gliomas, demonstrating the feasibility of monitoring immune response during immunotherapy.

Measured Preference

59 students in architecture and 50 medical students were compared using two questionnaire-defined measures of cognitive style. The Inquiry Mode Questionnaire (InQ) measured cognitive style according to five major dimensions: synthesist, idealist, analyst, realist and pragmatist. Your Style of Learning and Thinking (SOLAT)—Form C, now published as the Human Information Processing Survey (HIP Survey), measured preference for one of three main styles: a visuospatial, nonlinear, holistic, right-brain style; a verbal, analytic, sequential, left-brain style; and an integrated style involving an integration of the right and left styles. Significant differences were found for the two groups on the two questionnaires. Students in architecture favored the idealist style on the InQ and right-brain style on the SOLAT. Medical students favored the realist style on the InQ and the left-brain style on the SOLAT. Association between the InQ synthesist-idealist combined scores and the SOLAT inferred right-brain style and between the InQ analyst-realist style and the SOLAT left-brain style were observed.

AbstractSome truths cannot be accessed ‘cold’, from a detached and impersonal standpoint, but require personal commitment and even moral change in order for the relevant evidence to come to light. The truths of religion may be of this kind. Moreover, recent work in psychology and neurophysiology suggests that our knowledge of the world comes in different forms, the detached critical scrutiny associated with ‘the left-brain’ and the more intuitive and holistic awareness mediated by the ‘right brain’. Much contemporary philosophy privileges the former kind of knowledge, but in areas such as religion this may be a mistake.1
