New mind fuck.... The brain looses the game.
Nice animation?
Your brain is a remarkable control centre. While you're reading this, you're also thinking, breathing and moving. Decisions, ideas, ambitions and dreams are all organised by your brain.
You couldn't work without your brain. It is responsible for everything you do - waking in the morning, remembering who you are and where you live and feelings of love, happiness or sadness.
Watching the brain work
Scientists can watch your brain working, using exciting new imaging techniques. Knowing how the brain works will help us understand how we think and what happens when the brain is damaged or affected by illness.
How does your brain work?
Your 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.
How does your brain grow?
Your brain started to wire itself up before you were born, and carried on until you were two years old. Your brain now contains 100 billion interconnected cells, known as neurones. How do they know which parts of your body to link up to?
