"The notion that we normally use only a tenth of our brain is a commonplace, but patent nonsense. Brain scans make it clear that the entire brain is activated by even fairly mundane tasks"(Breedlove, 12). This piece of information was found with the text of the book called "Biological Psychology: An Introduction to Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience." Throughout my whole life, I was always known to believe that humans only use 10% of their brains. After reading this information in this credited text book, I realized that knowledge and ideas are constantly changing within the medical field due to new research, experiments, etc. I also realized that it is very important to be open minded when learning new information about the medical field and to always check various credited sources if you are unsure about something you may think is correct or incorrect. This information is very important to anyone who is considering a career in the medical field because it shows them that ideas within this field are constantly changing.

This post is super interesting, seeing as I have also heard that humans only use 10% of their brain several times. It would have been nice to see some more information about this, and maybe where this theory originated. Make sure to change your works cited so that it matches the rest of the blog post and doesn't have that white background! Good job!
