1. The human brain

Your brain is made up of billions of brain cells called neurons, which use electricity to communicate with each other. The combination of millions of neurons sending signals at once produces an enormous amount of electrical activity in the brain, which can be detected using sensitive medical equipment (such as an EEG), measuring electricity levels over areas of the scalp.

1.1 Brain Structures

Frontal Lobe- associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving

Parietal Lobe- associated with movement, orientation, recognition, perception of stimuli

Occipital Lobe- associated with visual processing

Temporal Lobe- associated with perception and recognition of auditory stimuli, memory, and speech

The cutting-edge science of changing your mind.

This image displays the beautiful phenomena where the brain makes new connections. The brain does this when it gathers new information and/or forming knew relationships between data. I find this extremely fascinating, I was amazed and truly moved when I saw these neurons connecting, experiencing it as poetry.
