Your brain is a miracle of God. It multitasks in keeping various functions of your body operating properly (Lungs, Heart, Kidneys, etc) all the while it also provides a conduit between YOU and your body.\n\nThink of a car with everything automated except the steering. The automation does no good without someone in the drivers seat.  Your body is like that automated car - with YOU (spirit/Soul) in the drivers seat.\n\nYou want to go and do  this - the body responds because of the interface (brain).  If something happens to the body, the brain reacts and in some cases adapts or compensates for a broken arm, a sprain ankle etc.,.\n\nThen sometimes when the brain is damaged or altered in someway (accident, drugs or just plain getting boozed up) it causes the brain to malfunction - communication between what you want and what the brain can do breaks down because of those other influences. Which makes you wonder why anyone would want to get drunk I might add.\n\nATTENTION PLEASE:\nThis kind of technology did NOT come about by natural selection or evolution. It HAD to of been created by one awesome Master Designer.

This is definitely a myth.  We use all of our brain.  The origin of this myth is that only 10% of our brain is made up of actual neurons in the strictest sense.  That means that only 10% of the cells in our brain are the kind that transmit signals and make us think.  The other 90% are called glia.  These cells provide the structural support and nutrients for the neurons, as well as clear away their waste and excess neurotransmitters.  These cells are "used" just as much as the other 10% though.

The human brain. Look at everything around you, it was created by the human brain. Cars, buildings, nuclear weapons, etc. were created by the human brain. Everything that you feel emotionally, all of your passion, motivation, and "spirit" is the direct result of your brain.

The function of a neuron is communication.\n1. Long axons allow for communication over long distances.\n2. The branching structure allows for communication between lots of different cells.

The brain. It is so complex and controls every other organ. I think it is the most important, since without it, all of your other organs would have no use.

Nervous system is the control center which consists of Brain, Spinal Cord and an enormous network of nerves that spread throughout your body. These nerves are responsible for the information flow between nervous system and other systems [ digestive, respiratory, circulatory etc etc ] in the entire body. Nervous system controls and coordinates the functioning of all other systems that exists in a body.

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.

I loved this question. Since, since I learned about dreams I always want to say this to any one curious - and there you are.\n\nThe brain has different areas that specialize into different thinkings/functions.\n\nMost areas remain unknown but then a lot are know to us.\n\nThere are special areas for vision, hearing, memory, analysis, judgement, speech, hunger, movements, sensations and so on.\n\nIn the stage of sleep the brain actually is working unlike we normally think! Sleep is actually for the body and some parts of the brain.\n\nThe areas of the brain that operate the heart, lungs, and certain higher analysis are actually working at their best.\n\nThe vision, hearing, sensations and movements are all shut down except for a huge stimuli like clock alarm or excessive light or someone touching us to wake us up!\n\n\nRarely, the vision / hearing may not shut down combined with memory being awake - will lead to a dream that we remember the next day.\n\nThe vision/hearing being awake combined with active conciousness will lead to dreams that we feel at night! (or see at night).\n\nThis is the very reason why some people speak in their sleep or make movement including sleep walking!\n\n\nThe brain mostly analyses all the events that occured during the day from a shorter (day) and longer(years) perspective - so dreams are often vivid.

The mind is the human consciousness that originates in the brain and is manifested especially in thought, perception, emotion, will, memory, and imagination. \n\nThe collective conscious and unconscious processes in a sentient organism that direct and influence mental and physical behavior. \n\nThe principle of intelligence; the spirit of consciousness regarded as an aspect of reality. \n\nThe faculty of thinking, reasoning, and applying knowledge: Follow your mind, not your heart. \n\nA person of great mental ability: the great minds of the century. \n\na. Individual consciousness, memory, or recollection: I'll bear the problem in mind. b. A person or group that embodies certain mental qualities: the medical mind; the public mind. c. The thought processes characteristic of a person or group; psychological makeup: the criminal mind. \n\nOpinion or sentiment: He changed his mind when he heard all the facts. \n\nDesire or inclination: She had a mind to spend her vacation in the desert. \n\nFocus of thought; attention: I can't keep my mind on work. \n\nA healthy mental state; sanity: losing one's mind.

No particular part, though some parts are more important: The frontal cortex is important for general cognitive activity, and structures such as the hippocampus which are involved with emotion and memory will be involved also.

Your brain is the most important organ in your body, and also it's particularly helpful for school. When you concentrate your brain will use 20% of the glucose in your body. You therefore need to get out of bed early so that you can A) wake up your brain, and B) feed your body which will allow for the intake of glucose to your brain when you need it.....

To put things in perspective, science does not deny nor confirm the existence of God.  The purpose of science is to explain the mechanisms of the material world.  "They" are studying brain functions related to religious experience. Religion is observance of phenomena and traditions as they relate to God or Gods.  The reason they are studying the brain is because every major civilization in the world has some religious aspect.  By studying the brain, they could deduce an environmental, genetic or unknown variable that contributes to religion only, not God's purpose.

Great Question!Here is some information about how the brain works:\n\nHow does your brain work?\n\nYour brain is the hub of your nervous system. It is made up of 100 billion nerve cells - about the same as the number of trees in the Amazon rainforest. Each cell is connected to around 10,000 others. So the total number of connections in your brain is the same as the number of leaves in the rainforest - about 1000 trillion.\nYour brain is made up of 100 billion nerve cells - about the same as the number of trees in the Amazon rainforest.\n\nHow does your nervous system work?\n\nThe nervous system is a network of cells called neurones which transmit information in the form of electrical signals. Your brain has around 100 billion neurones, and each communicates with thousands of others - as many connections as in the world's telephone system, the biggest machine on the planet. Neurones communicate with each other at special junctions where chemicals help to bridge the gap between one neurone and the next. \nThe nervous system is a vast network of interconnecting neurones.\n\nMore about nervous connuections:\n\nThe electrical signals (nerve impulses) carried by neurones are passed on to other neurones at junctions called synapses. The signal may be directly transferred at electrical synapses or, if there is no physical link between adjacent neurones, the signal is carried across the gap by chemicals called neurotransmitters. By using neurotransmitters, the nervous system can alter the way a message is passed on. Each neurone communicates with many others and this contributes to the amazing complexity of the brain.Each neurone communicates with many others.\n\nHope it helps.

The brain is the organ responsible for thought and other functions.  The mind is the abstract concept that is the culmination of all thoughts, not a physical object.

There are important structures in the base brain that control breathing, metabolism and other essential life sustaining issues.\n\nThe frontal is more Analytical thinking, refraining from saying odd things.  Emotional stuff.
