Abstract
Practice of Metaphorical thinking in understanding given information promotes the communication of the two hemispheres by a bundle of connecting fibres, the corpus callosum at neo cortex level and through hippocampus at the level of limbic system. Hence, metaphorical thinking helps learners to make connections and develop patterns and relationships in parallel to the language as well as symbols relevant to the given information.
Highlights
The two hemispheres of the brain of the cerebral cortex are linked by corpus callosum through which they communicate
It is attributed to the fact that the size of corpus callosum is 23% larger than the male counter parts
Metaphorical thinking helps individual in creative problem solving by “thinking outside the box” meaning helps in divergent thinking
Summary
The two hemispheres of the brain of the cerebral cortex are linked by corpus callosum through which they communicate. The speed of neural information processing is a complex process which involves a variety of constraints, including the time for electrochemical signals to traverse axons and dendrites, axonal myelination, the diffusion time of neurotransmitters across the synaptic cleft, differences in synaptic efficacy, the coherence of neural firing, the current availability of neurotransmitters, and the prior history of neuronal firing. This procedure may vary from one individual to another. If the individuals are trained to think metaphorically, there is a probability of equa-
