The Brain~
The brain really surprises me, cause it's like there’s
a whole world inside of it! I mean, there’s about a billion of neurons. It is said that there are as many
connections of neurons as stars in the galaxy. But I like most the philosophic
side of that, because the brain forms the physical structure that generates the
mind; all our thoughts, our sufferings, our joys, our problems comes from the brain. How can an organ be so sophisticated as to create an entire world inside every person?
The brain is the center organ of the nervous and endocrine system, also is
responsible for cognition, emotions, memory and learning. Weighs about 1,400 grams, and it is located on the
head, protected by the skull.
Some illnesses can alter its normal
functioning, for example: Alzheimer causes a total loss of memory, schizophrenia affects our perception of reality. Depression, hyperactivity,
eating disorders, cancer, epilepsy, etc.
Really surprising! The brain is wonderful!
