Global Brain Awareness Week

The brain is a complex organ that controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger and every process that regulates our body. Your brain has two hemispheres – left for analytical thoughts and right for creative thoughts. The brain is arguably the most important organ in the human body. It controls and coordinates actions and reactions, allows us to think and feel, and enables us to have memories and feelings—all the things that make us human. 70,000 is the number of thoughts estimated that the human brain produces on an average day.

The human brain is responsible for keeping your body running all day long. The brain is part of the central nervous system and receives tons of information. Although the exact number of brain cells isn't known, researchers do know that the brain contains billions of cells. All of these cells are hard at work, transmitting signals to the various parts of the body and processing sensory inputs.
