Is there a difference between the brain of studying science and taught literature and humanities?




There is no doubt that a large gap between those who study the natural sciences and taught literature and humanities. In 1959 he threw Physical and novelist CP Snow famous lecture on "two cultures" published by then in a research paper entitled "the two cultures and scientific revolution," describing the negative impact of separation between the natural sciences and human and literary science and the impact on society and the Renaissance. There are themes and fundamentals in both areas do not have to know the pioneers of that area are only limited, but everyone should know because they directly affect our lives and in our knowledge and our understanding, including around him.



Scientists and researchers and even students in the fields of science, literature always feel different not intellectual agree with their companions who are studying different their room, and it came with some scientists to believe that their minds are quite different in terms of configuration and installation, this may be right, according to a new study published by the world of Japanese nerves Hikaru Takeuchi and his colleagues that bears the title of "brain structure of Darcy sciences and humanities."
Said Hikaru in his study that there is a range of differences in brain structure for graduates of scientific and literary faculties (Humanities), Hikaru found that those who have studied the science they have a greater proportion of gray matter in the prefrontal cortex East, while possessed of studied human and literary material density greater white matter around right hippocampus. Hikaru got on this data after studying 491 different students in terms of age, gender and size of the brain, but what that may mean these results?

Based on the study relied on the analysis of these data in the light of Empathizing-Systematizing the world and placed Simon Baron theory known for short as E-S theory, according to this theory humans is classified into two types, the first type Empathizing a type capable of awareness and understanding of other people's feelings and ideas and respond to the feelings of the occasion . The second type is a type Systemizing regular follow specific laws in his life and reliable in dealing with others.
Before the meaning of the results it is worth mentioning that addressed the humanities depends on the community and on systems that resulted in him and his environment, and the natural sciences, they rely mainly on abstract ideas, experiences and isolated from society and considered a factor in the results.
The study team reported that their assumption that there is a difference in the brain installation for students of science compared to students of literature have been proven, and the results we have obtained for the students of science is somewhat similar to the results that emerged during the study of people with autism (not intended to form satisfactory to unite, but it meant the similarity in terms of dealing with the community around them), and that the high gray matter that has been observed in an accompanying Science students from less sympathy or emotion to a flat rate (especially feelings related to a third party).






Although this study supported by specific and clear the results are derived from a large variety of people sample, but in the end just study can appear in the future is denied or confirmed decisively, but when this happens in the light of this theory must acknowledge the existence of a difference is not significant by between brain Natural Sciences humanitarian, literary and science students, especially from out of them and practiced in the same area for years, and this difference is in fact a logical rather, The way they handle each category with the study it greatly affects the development of the brain, Those who study natural sciences such as physics, chemistry and mathematics find them deal with the laws of their thinking and theories of control and impartiality of any feelings Vintba in their behavior (in relative terms may vary from person to person) to become a characteristic of them. Those who are studying the human and literary understanding of science actually dealing with human beings and society directly through their study of history, philosophy and sociology, promotes development of their abilities to communicate with others better with time.
