Dell Logic Puzzles; keeping the brain "active" in the early [and all] stages has been shown in studies to deter the onset and alleviate the process; I believe that involving BOTH sides of brain, left and right, such as visual puzzles involving "logic" and calculating strategy, are excellent, good music, and "active conversation"; also, as much "joy" as possible- pets, family, friends, new and long-time ones, all have shown great help!

The brain controls "lower" or involuntary activities such as heartbeat, respiration, and digestion - these are known as autonomic functions. The brain also controls "higher" order, conscious activities, such as thought, reasoning, and abstraction. The human brain is generally regarded as more capable of these higher order activities than any other species.\n\nThe human brain is thought to be the source of the conscious, cognitive mind. The mind is the set of cognitive processes related to perception, interpretation, imagination, and memories, of which a person may or may not be aware. Beyond cognitive functions, the brain regulates autonomic processes related to essential body functions such as respiration and heartbeat.\n\nExtended neocortical capacity allows humans some control over emotional behavior, but neural pathways between emotive centers of the brain stem and cerebral motor control areas are shorter than those connecting complex cognitive areas in the neocortex with incoming sensory information from the brain stem. Powerful emotional pathways can modulate spontaneous emotive expression regardless of attempts at cerebral self-control. Emotive stability in humans is associated with planning, experience, and an environment that is both stable and stimulating, especially during early developmental years.\n\nThe 19th century discovery of the primary motor cortex mapped to correspond with regions of the body led to popular belief that the brain was organized around a homunculus. A distorted figure drawn to represent the body's motor map in the prefrontal cortex was popularly recognized as the brain's homunculus, but function of the human brain is far more complex.\n\nThe human brain appears to have no localized center of conscious control. The brain seems to derive consciousness from interaction among numerous systems within the brain. Executive functions rely on cerebral activities, especially those of the frontal lobes, but redundant and complementary processes within the brain result in a diffuse assignment of executive control that can be difficult to attribute to any single locale.\n\nMidbrain functions include routing, selecting, mapping, and cataloguing information, including information perceived from the environment and information that is remembered and processed throughout the cerebral cortex. Endocrine functions housed in the midbrain play a leading role in modulating arousal of the cortex and of autonomic systems.\n\nNerves from the brain stem complex where autonomic functions are modulated join nerves routing messages to and from the cerebrum in a bundle that passes through the spinal column to related parts of a body. Twelve pairs of cranial nerves, including some that innervate parts of the head, follow pathways from the medulla oblongata outside the spinal cord.\n\nA definite description of the biological basis for consciousness so far eludes the best efforts of the current generation of researchers. But reasonable assumptions based on observable behaviors and on related internal responses have provided the basis for general classification of elements of consciousness and of likely neural regions associated with those elements. Researchers know people lose consciousness and regain it, they have identified partial losses of consciousness associated with particular neuropathologies and they know that certain conscious activities are impossible without particular neural structures.

Parts of our brain are used for senses. Touch, smell, taste, etc. They map which parts of the brain relate to which, and it makes psychologists and brain surgeons very excited. It's also how foreplay/non-conventional sex can be explained. See, our lips have one of the greatest surface areas on the physical sense brain map, meaning our lips are really sensitive. So are our, well, erogenous zones, genitals and such. So, we put the two sensitive organs together, and it makes everyone happy. Same explination for kissing.

Look in the encylopedia and look up the word brain and information pertaining to (frontal Lobes of the brain) it pertains much to what you are wanting to know. It talks about the thinking and language and control motor thrpugh the body.I found this information in a nursing handbook that I have.It was too much to type so I just gave you a briefing.

the one of brain's function in human physiology is that on the certain segment of brain controls heart rate. That means brain can order the heart to keep on pump in order to stay alive. \n\nWith each beat, the heart continuously communicates with the brain and body via the nervous system, hormonal system, bioelectromagnetic interactions, and other pathways.

One of the differences is in how much pre-frontal lobe cortex we have. The pre-frontal lobes have to do with "connecting the dots"...logical analysis, association...it allows us to visualize the future, make rationale judgments and plan. For this reason hey call it the "executive" part of the brain. In humans, 33% of the cortex, the thinking part of the brain, is frontal. In chimpanzees, it's only about 10%. That's a huge difference, signifying that humans have a whole lot more of the kind of brain function that produces higher level intelligence.

I don't understand.  \n\nIt's a wives tale that people only use 10% of our brain.  In reality we DO use all areas of our brain, the only thing is that not all areas function at once....\n\nIf you want to be well rounded, just go learn about all the things you are unfamiliar with. Stop doing the same thing over and over again, go out and try new things every day. \n\nSo...yeah...I still don't know what the real question was...\nHope that helps!

This is a myth that humans only use '10%' of their brain.\n\nAt any given moment in time, subportions of the brain are activated.  But, over time, all parts of the human brain are activated.  Which parts are activated at any given moment have to do with the functions of those parts of the brain and what associations have been established there.  The brain just isn't wired to have all neurons firing at once.\n\nThe evidence of what parts of the brain fire and when is being accumulated by having people perform specific tasks while having their heads scanned by CAT and PET scanners.  These are creating maps of the activity.

In the brain.  \n\nIts in the frontal lobes above the orbits of the eyes and is associated with decision making and emotions.

Marie you need a full frontal lobotomy to help you spell Psycho-surgical, psychiatry and psychology! That was just about the only surgery done years ago where the frontal lobes of the brain were often removed. Very little psycho-surgery is done these days - unless a patient has psychological problems due possibly to brain damage. If the damage shows on a brain scan then it can sometimes be repaired using surgery. Complex issue - even more complex than spelling psychiatry. But no one is perfect - the spell checker said I mis-typed lobotomy!

The mind uses the brain but does not dwell anywhere in particular.It can be anywhere at all that you imagine it to be.\nVarious areas of the body can be used as focus points for the mind,depending on what you are trying to achieve.\nIn meditative practices,the heart,head and just below the navel are the most usual sites for  gathering,focussing and concentrating your mental energies.

The cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem.  Check out these websites for more detailed information.\n\nI hope this helps.

The temporal lobe is associated with perception and recognition of auditory stimuli, memory, and speech.
