The Brain

Recent research by neuroscientists has revealed that the Two brain halves work somewhat differently from each other .The Left side is predominantly associated with Linearity . Language , Logic ,Lists ,Sequence ,Mathematics and Science .The Right side is associated with  Rhythm, 3 -D, Imagination ,Colour and Music .Our traditional education systems focus largely on the left side aspects keeping the right side separate .This leads to incomplete ,lop sided thinking .

Merging of both the sides of the brain leads to whole brain or Gestalt thinking .
To understand the structure of the brain from within ,look at a walnut and you will immediately understand it .
The Brain is an Organ whereas the Mind is the higher function of the Brain concerned with Speech , learning and Memory .
Mind mapping uses both the sides of the brain leading to synchronization of the brain halves thus leading to Radiant thinking.
By making a mind map ,the middle part of the brain known as Mid brain is activated which in turn activates the sensory cortex.This in turn makes us notice the various events occurring around us faster. 
The brain is more of an Image processor rather than a word processor .It understands images better than words .
Pre-historic cave man used images on the walls when language was not invented .Egyptian hieroglyphics too used pictures .Cartoons too use images .
This is how mind mapping is effective as it uses images and key words along with colour and curved line .The branching and sub branching resembles the microscopic structure of the nerve cells .
