 * “Of all our sense receptors, the eyes are the most powerful information conduit to the brain. They send information to the cerebral cortex through two optic nerves, each consisting or 1,000,000 nerve fibers. By comparison, each auditory nerve consists of a mere 30,000 fibers...Nerve cells devoted to visual processing account for about 30% of the brain’s cortex, compared to 8% for touch and 3% for hearing.” (Burmark)**======

"Many schools are reporting that success in art, music and drama "transfer" to better scores on standardized test of basic skills. Words and images-the synergy is irrefutable" (Burmark)

Rather than trying to categorize students, it would be preferable to provide a wide range of learning activities that consider and honor each learning style" (Gregory & Chapman)=

//“Using a positron emission tomography, medical researchers have been able to demonstrate that different areas of the brain become active when individuals are exposed to verbal and visual information. When individuals were asked to look at and remember verbal information, tow regions in the brain’s verbal domain-the left hemisphere-became active. When presented with visual information the right hemisphere lit up.”//=====
