= BRAINS!!!!!! = by Steven

**Introduction**
Have you heard of something called a brain? It is a pretty weird thing, no? If you look at it in my perspective it is. I had this assignment to write what we have been wondering about. And when I thought to myself "what am I wondering about." the first thing that popped to mind was "THE BRAIN!!!" The brain is part of us and there are very little people that are informed about it. And, plus, I bet it is a good topic to study. That's what got me thinking about it. I thought to myself, "The brain is in fact the most essential part of the human body. And yet, people know more about their triceps than their brain." Each and every one of us has one. I know there has to be some one you know that you think has no brain but that's not the real fact. Without a brain, the specimen would be unable to live. Anyways, if you look at the brain closely and think about it more you'll see that its job is bigger than its size. And plus humans only use 10% of their brains at max. Imagine if we learned to use all 100%.

**Body**
It was pretty hard finding info on this topic though. My best chance was on the Internet on Google. That got me so many different web sites, but only 4 good sites. The websites from Google are good. But I had to go through practically 1000s of sites. I went through them and picked the ones with him most and best information. I picked the more useful and descriptive ones. It was very helpful. The interview, jeez, don't even get me started. That was about to drive me up and out of my mind. Then I thought to myself "I don't really need someone who has like a master’s degree and 12 PhDs on it. I just need someone who knows a thing or two about it. Maybe like your average day doctor. They studied neurology at some point." and to my advantage, one of my Sunday school teachers is a doctor. So I got an appointment with him. I have learned a lot from these searches. I have learned things such as the brain, although is the center of sending and receiving the sense of touch, does not have any feel in it. I have learned that the brain is not just one single organ by itself. It has a lot of other systems within it, but is all under the name of “brain”. It is like the bone is made of the shell and the bone marrow. Different systems do different things. The thalamus is like a CPU for incoming radiation (such as optic radiation and audio radiation). The human brain is the most complex rain of all creatures. According to http://yucky.discovery.com/flash/body/pg000135.html, this is so because “human brains are larger and heavier in comparison to the human body, than any other animal. Underneath your scalp, sits a brain that, as it has grown, has continued to fold in on itself and develop deeper and deeper folds and crags.” the human brain has 2 sides, the left and right, the right side of the brain controls the left side of the rest of you and vice versa.

**Conclusion**
So the brain is complicated. over all there was a lot of stuff in it. and also the brain does, in fact, do a job //way// bigger than its size. hope you learned quite a few facts and had fun on the way.
