We all know that the brain is the maestro of the body. Everything, every function, and every organ in our bodies is controlled by the brain. Even the slightest finger movement is controlled by the brain.
We all know that the brain is the organ that is present in the skull and is surrounded by some sort of a liquid, but really, what is the brain in terms of science?
The brain is the complex organ that controls thought, emotions, memory, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger, thirst, and every other process that regulates body functions.
Together, the brain and the spinal cord that extends from it, form the central nervous system or the CNS.
In the average adult, the brain weighs about three pounds and is about 60% fat. As for the remaining 40%, they are a combination of proteins, water, carbohydrates, and salt. Some people might be confused about the nature of the brain. Because some say, “train your brain”, you might wonder, is it muscle?
