What's up with men having 2 brains?

Question

Can't one suffice?

Answer 1

I only have one brain and it's an intelligent one.
You must be thinking of my guns!

This is my rifle this is my gun!
This one's for fighting,
and this one's for fun!

Answer 2

The human brain is the source of the conscious, cognitive mind. The mind is the set of cognitive processes related to perception, interpretation, imagination, memories, and crucially language (cf. Broca's area) of which a person may or may not be aware. Beyond cognitive functions, the brain regulates autonomic processes related to essential body functions such as respiration and heartbeat.

Extended neocortical capacity allows humans some control over emotional behavior, but neural pathways between emotive centers of the brain stem and cerebral motor control areas are shorter than those connecting complex cognitive areas in the neocortex with incoming sensory information from the brain stem. Powerful emotional pathways can modulate spontaneous emotive expression regardless of attempts at cerebral self-control. Emotive stability in humans is associated with planning, experience, and an environment that is both stable and stimulating.

The 19th century discovery of the primary motor cortex mapped to correspond with regions of the body led to popular belief that the brain was organized around a homunculus. A distorted figure drawn to represent the body's motor map in the prefrontal cortex was popularly recognized as the brain's homunculus, but function of the human brain is far more complex than this simple figure suggests. A similar, "sensory homunculus" can be drawn in the parietal lobe that parallels that in the frontal lobe.

The human brain appears to have no localized center of conscious control. The brain seems to derive consciousness from interaction among numerous systems within the brain. Executive functions rely on cerebral activities, especially those of the frontal lobes, but redundant and complementary processes within the brain result in a diffuse assignment of executive control that can be difficult to attribute to any single locale.

Midbrain functions include routing, selecting, mapping, and cataloging information, including information perceived from the environment and information that is remembered and processed throughout the cerebral cortex. Endocrine functions housed in the midbrain play a leading role in modulating arousal of the cortex and of autonomic systems.

Nerves from the brain stem complex where autonomic functions are modulated join nerves routing messages to and from the cerebrum in a bundle that passes through the spinal column to related parts of a body. Twelve pairs of cranial nerves, including some that innervate parts of the head, follow pathways from the medulla oblongata outside the spinal cord.

A definite description of the biological basis for consciousness so far eludes the best efforts of the current generation of researchers. But reasonable assumptions based on observable behaviors and on related internal responses have provided the basis for general classification of elements of consciousness and of likely neural regions associated with those elements. Researchers know people lose consciousness and regain it, they have identified partial losses of consciousness associated with particular neuropathologies and they know that certain conscious activities are impossible without particular neural structures.

Answer 3

Hey it's only fair that God gave us two brains. He gave you ladies two qualities that men just adore and spend most of their free time fantasizing about.

Speaking of which hey Boba Fett mind changing spots with me. I like the view you've got.

Answer 4

Now, Who came up with that brain storm of a notion.
This world gets weirder everyday.
I wonder if soon I may be shockproof .
Lord, give me a break here. What's next ??~~~~Jill

Answer 5

One brain is for common sense and the other brain is to deal with women.

Answer 6

First I've heard of two brains. I know cows have two stomachs. Brains are a mystery to me though, - I am female!

Answer 7

No Dear. Believe me they do not have 2 brains. I believe
that two heads is the metaphor you are looking for.

Answer 8

hahaha men dont have two brains that have one brain with two sides and only use one side at a time- no kidding

Answer 9

The little bald headed pr!ck with 2 nutty neighbors does a lot of our thinking for us.
It's simple hormones.

Answer 10

Nope, they work on a two-fer system...the trick is making sure the little guy only has an eye for you.
