Brain Parts
Cerebrum
About 85% of your brain is the Cerebrum. It makes you able to solve your math, play chess or video games, write an e-mail , draw pictures, remember your friend’s birthday, the color of your sister’s eyes and many-many other things. Cerebrum makes the difference between human beings and animals. You probably have mentioned your dog doesn’t play chess as good as you doJ. Also it’s not easy for him to distinguish between Chinese and Japanese alphabetsJ. It wouldn't work out too well for him, because compared with you, the thinking part- the cerebrum of his brain is very small!
Cerebrum has two halves-right and left. It’s accepted that the right half is responsible for abstract thinking-related to colors, shapes while the left half helps you with speech, counting and solving. Left part is more analytical device than right half. Also it’s known that the right half of your cerebrum controls the left side of your body and the left half controls the right side (note that this is true for your first half of life only, I mean before marriage. Than your husband controls both left and right part of your cerebrum and helps you to develop other kind of thinking – nor abstract nether analytical and you’re starting to see things otherwise, hahaha!).
There is an area on your cerebrum-the motor area. This part of your cerebrum controls the muscles in your body that move whenever you want then to. Whenever you do a physical -you play, walk, jump or exercise the motor area of your cerebrum works.

Brain
The early Greeks thought the brain was the home of soul, rather than mind. They believed that thinking happened somewhere around the lungs! Hahaha!!! What’s a shame!!! Wait! And stop laughing. There is no reason for that. In real life, you probably have noticed that some individuals often think around the lungs or even more lover part of their body but brainJ. Only in seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the brain was seen as an organ of intelligence and thought, as the concept of the mind emerged.
Brain is the most important and the most complex organ among other organs in the human body. For some people brain(head) is the second favorite organ:).Brain controls the function of all organs and regulates virtually all human activity. As it was mentioned also in previous post, brain is made of soft delicate tissue that would be injured by even the slightest pressure. That’s why it is well protected inside your skull. However , your brain is still vulnerable to the damage from inside. The possible cause of damage may be emotions, fear , stress , medications and drugs.
Brain is made of many parts, each of which has a bunch of specific functions to perform. Brain can be divided into four areas: the cerebrum, the diencephalons, the brain stem and the cerebellum. Each part of brain is responsible for very specific tasks. and they act like a highly organized team members. The cerebrum is the largest part of your brain. It sits on top of the rest of your brain, like a mushroom cap covering its stalk. It has a intensively folded grey surface, the pattern of which is different from one person to the next. This is kind of biometrics which are unique for every individual (fingerprints, iris color etc). Let us call it“head prints” or “brain prints” or better “mind prints”:). With the use of modern forms of technology, scientists have been able to look at the brain activity when we perform different tasks. You can lern more about the brain functions here.

amazing brain
How do you remember your favorite song?
How do you remember phone numbers, names, letters, and the faces of your friends, the way to your house, colors, voices, anything and everything? How do you memorize them? What is the memory?
Why do your eyes blink without you ever thinking about it? Where do dreams come from? And how do you know they are dreams? How do you classify them?
Yesterday you enjoyed the diner with your friends. How do you know it was yesterday and it was a dinner and with your friends? You even remember the taste of every food you had. How? What is a taste? How do you feel that?
How do you walk, dance, eat or sleep? Who is controlling your body while you slip? There are tons of questions like these. From the first instance it seams you do know the answers. Don't you?
In fact it’s not easy to answer to these all questions if you don’t know about structure and function of brain. Your brain is the one responsible for these things and a whole lot more. Your brain is the boss of your body. It runs and controls just about everything you do.
It is more powerful and much faster than any computer you've ever seen or used. Brain is a very sophisticated information processing device.
It looks like wrinkly, gray and as soft as an avocado flesh while can make very hard and strong decisions. It's almost as heavy as a carton pack of fruit juice when you’re young. By the time you're grown up, it will weigh about a large size pizza.
Animals also have brain (nervous systems) which, while differently organized, are fundamentally similar in terms of their basic function. Brain works like a multychannel input/output device - a system whose primary function is to receive, transform, and emit signals (information). We need to understand how our brain is functioning.
Neuroscience - the only way to answer above mentioned questions.

Neuroscience
The nervous system is a vast network of cells that controls almost everything our body does. Many of the nervous system's functions are not yet fully understood. This is why neuroscience is growing. Neuroscientists study how the nervous system functions and how it affects the body's biology, behavior, sensory systems, thought processes, diseases, and much more.
Neuroscience has been around for several thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians believed that the brain did not control intelligence; rather, intelligence was concentrated in the heart. This explains why the brain was usually removed before mummification. Much later, Greeks and Romans began theorizing that the brain was responsible for processing senses and thought. In the 1890's, single neurons began being observed due to the development of the microscope and staining procedures. Even though neuroscience has taught people quite a bit about the nervous system, there is still a large amount that people do not fully understand. There are several subgroups of neuroscience. For example, behavioral science studies physical behavior, the effects of chemicals, and sensory processing. In addition, psychology is a small portion of cognitive neuroscience, and studies social behaviors, learning, emotions, and many more functions.
Neuroscience is a broad field of study that encompasses many aspects of the human body. It seems that each individual section of neuroscience has a special way of observing it. The study has come a long way from the views of the Egyptians. In a few thousand years, there is a good chance that people will look at what we know today as rudimentary.
