Are research results on the brain more compelling to you than are research results from survey studies on attitudes? How does biological research such as studies of the brain influence public opinion regarding the science of psychology? Which brain scanning techniques, or combination of techniques, do you find to be the best?

The brain, part of the central nervous system along with the spinal cord, is divided into two hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum. The text also discusses brain plasticity and how studying brain damage, such as strokes, contributes to understanding brain function.

Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections in response to learning and damage. Neurogenesis refers to the formation of new neurons, which may aid brain repair. Brain lateralization explores the specialization of the left and right hemispheres, as evidenced by split-brain studies.
