The Brain: Facts
The Brain
The brain is one of the most amazing parts of your body. Every day it allows us to do activities that we control and many that we don't. Our brain can help us:
- Read printed words
- Regulate our breathing
- Remember colors
- Manage the rhythm of our heart
- Control our body temperature
- Remind us to blink
- Remember how to play a game
- Ride a bike
- Determine what the soft fur on a dog's back feels like
- And many, many other things
It's true! Inside your skull your brain controls everything you do!!! It is more powerful and faster than any computer. Your brain is the most important part of you, and it is very complicated.
In the book, The Great Brain Book: An Inside Look At The Inside Of Your Head, author HP Newquist says, "Understanding the brain is one of the biggest challenges facing scientists. We're just now beginning to figure out how all the pieces of the brain work, but we have a long way to go. We still don't know how it creates thoughts or how it stores pictures in your head. It's not a photo album or a CD player that just files your favorite images and songs. It's a complicated organ that does billions of things every second that you're alive. That makes it the most powerful organ on earth."
