few years ago, when he frequented as a student writes college classrooms, often heard lamentations by some experts, the little knowledge that it was possible to have the brain. "The brain, they said, is an organ that, unlike others, dies

No more touching and well ada can not be studied in any animal inside and, therefore, apart from the cortex, ie the most external, very little is known. "Statements like this gave rise to a myth of the high court already complex and mysterious. It was curious to hear that, by some bold things that humans only use 10% of our brain. It was always a mystery to know how to determine the percentage of something what is entirely unknown. But all this further contributed to elevate to the unknown god-like brain.

was born in 1988 a seminal work for anyone interested in the topic: Happiness of JMR Delgado. Among his teachings remember the statement that "biology does not determine behavior, but you can modify the behavior biology" ¹ which, at a time and in an environment where the prevailing theories and ideologies so exclusionary ber the importance of biology, was a light, a hope for those who believed in the possibility and capacity of human beings change. Delgado's views corroborate and encouraged us to continue believing in what you just heard them say aloud that the possibilities for change and improvement are important to humans. Many studies have shown various differences that occur in humans, but were and still are frequent findings and interpretations of the results of these studies attributed exclusively, these changes to biological determinism. For example, some studies show the failure of certain psychological treatments in youth diagnosed with conduct disorder or antisocial personality. These studies often concluded emphasizing the predominance of genético y el determinismo de lo biológico en el ser humano, sin plantearse la calidad, la oportunidad o la idoneidad de esos tratamientos psicológicos. No se cuestionaban que tal vez otros tratamientos más adecuados o más prolongados en el tiempo podrían ser más eficaces, y a menudo extraían conclusiones determinantes y excluyentes. Algo así como afirmar que si este o aquel estudio no demuestran la eficacia de un determinado tratamiento psicológico, entonces los tratamientos psicológicos en general no son eficaces en tales casos. Hoy en día no se cuestiona la eficacia de los tratamientos psicológicos.

Algunos estudios que muestran las diferencias cerebrales existentes entre different human groups invariably attribute these differences as a cause, and not as a result of the different behaviors between them. Thus, it is said that the brain structures this or that group of people are different from this other group, and that the cause of the differences observed between them. The other possible interpretation, however, is that (ales differences are due to the exercise of different notes are further development of the areas where the centers related with emotions. By contrast, for men it is seen further development in areas related to behavior. And he concluded: why men go to the war and unloading trucks, and women are teachers and nurses. It may be that to some extent the differences were related to practice, ie that this was the cause, not effect. usually have greater biceps muscle that is exercised more, even taking into account the signal evils differences, both individual and gender.
