The rise of the middle brain activation that is often considered to make children become more intelligent, even brilliant, it was never there and discussed in the medical world of medicine.

Dwi Putro Widodo, Consultant Child Neurology Expert RSCM Jakarta, said the activation of the midbrain so that children can walk across the rope, even throwing knives with his eyes closed, there was no research and development in the medical world.

"The brain center called the mid brain or it is located at the base of the brain and regulate the movement of the eyeball, not making smart kids at once," he said at the RSCM, today.

He explained that the so-called activation and widespread in today's society is a learning process by constantly repeating certain motor skills. The most extreme of what is claimed as the activation of the midbrain is currently throwing a knife into the apple that is on the head. This is a result of learning.

"Try now object to his head placed apples changed to higher or shorter, definitely missed. This process is a normal learning process, using the usual channels, similar to a pianist or guitarist no longer need to look at a piano or guitar when playing, "he added.

Dwi adding what was claimed as a result of activation of the midbrain is the motor skills that continue to be repeated. To prove it is quite simple, just by changing the shape or composition of objects, such as changing the image of fish into a circle and its position is shifted in a paper to be colored. In the eyes closed spontaneously by the child will color the shapes of fish.
