What’s in your brain?

This wrinkled white and grey matter is the seat of consciousness, reason and emotion, center of learning and skill, and warehouse of memories. Our Brain controls the activities of all the other organs and systems of the body.

Every second of our lives, the brain receives, processes and acts on information. Scientists claim that even when we are asleep, the brain receives and sends out about 50 million messages per second. But the brain does not work alone: it relies on our sense organs for reports from the outside world; and it needs a means of communicating with the rest of the body. This is where the nerves come in. Through the spinal cord and the vast network of branching nerves that make up the peripheral Nervous System, nerve impulses pass back and forth between the brain and every part of the body. These crucial messages not only keep us alive but enable us to feel, think, remember and carry out acts as simple as raising a hand, or as complex as writing a story.

The structure of your brain

Your brain consists of three main parts. The cerebrum interprets messages from the sense organs and controls such higher functions as the ability to speak, reason and remember. This activity takes place largely in the outer grey layer of the cerebrum, the cortex. The cerebellum orchestrates balance and muscle coordination. The brain stem links the brain with the spinal cord and helps tpo regulate breathing, heartbeat and other vital functions.

Deep within the brain are several crucial structures: the thalamus relays sensory nerve impulses to the cerebral cortex; the hypothalamus helps to regulate appetite and sex drive; the pituitary gland activates other glands throughout the body; the basal ganglia relay outgoing impulses from the cerebral cortex and are associated with the ability to move rapidly and smoothly.

What can go wrong with the brain and the nervous system?

Like any other part of the body, the brain and our nervous system are subject to a variety of ills. Despite the protection of the skull and vertebrae, the brain and the spinal cord can be injured, sometimes with terrible consequences. The brain’s blood supple can be interrupted, resulting in a stroke. The system can be damaged by an infection, by toxins, or by disturbances whose causes are still unknown.
