Have you ever wondered how the brain works or how it is connected? Outside the brain may just appear to be a handful of pink and gray muscle, however, as you enter the human brain, it unveils an extremely complex circuit, connecting you with the rest of your body, the brain contains almost 100,00 miles of blood vessels and billions of cells. The brain is a library of information, remembering information and processing it as quick as 11 million bits per second (The Human Brain). The brain is a very copious system made of four lobes which dictate emotions, thoughts, skills and actions.

The human brain is an amazing device. It controls everything we do. It controls our bodies, how we communicate, how we function. Our brains our

In the book, “Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain,” David Eagleman challenges many ideas that we might have about our identities, mindset, perception and how they all come together to affect our actions and beliefs. Eagleman talks about how our brains work with our bodies to perceive our everyday life and tasks. He explains that the brain is a three- pound organ that takes control of our daily actions and alters our way of thinking and performing certain tasks. He states that it is easier for our brains to perform tasks like ride a bike or drive a car without thinking too much about it. In his book, he also talks about how the brain does not perform or think the same way someone else's brain might. The brain can automatically do a certain task without you even realizing it and is even able to make up a response when you don't remember exact details of a past event. This book has challenged many ideas that we may already have, or known about ourselves, and raises many questions about how our brain works to perceive and analyze information.

Ever since my volunteering experience with Halton Epilepsy and my Seizure first aid training, I have been very interested in the human brain and its wonders. It was through my training then that I became fascinated to find out that the brain is the control center of the human body.

The human brain contains about 100 billion neurones, and has an average volume of 1200-1400mL. Once brain cells die, they stay dead forever.
The brain controls and regulates body functions. Without it you cannot survive. Damage to the brain is repaired slowly. Sometimes other parts of the brain take over the function of the damaged parts, but there are instances where brain damage is permanent.

The Cerebrum:
Associated with higher brain function, such as thought and action. The cerebrum obtains information from an individual’s surroundings and their body, and then sends that information to a specific part of the cerebrum. The cerebrum interprets this knowledge and decides what must happen next. The muscles and sensory information from the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain, and vice versa.

Occupies more than 80% of the brain, and contains over 10 billions neurones. The folds in the cerebrum are called ‘convolutions’, and are used to fit more neurones and information in. These folds increase its surface area by three times. It is here that the high intellectual functions of humans take place. The cerebrum controls you conscious thoughts and the intentional (voluntary)

After having watched the video on interactive transcript, I had to re watch it has there was a lot of very useful information. I was always told that the brain takes years to be able master in a skill and be able to be the best at something. My mother always told me that practise makes perfect and that the anything you do in life, if you give it time and effort you will be able to a come any problems you set. What intrigued me is how Terry Sejnowski explains that we are not consciously aware of how our brain works. Brains are evolved to help us navigate complex environments. A lot of the heavy lifting is done below our level of consciousness. I have always wondered how the brain works as everyone has one and yet everyone manages to have a different way of using it. As Terry said the brain only weights 3 pounds but it somehow manages to consume ten times more energy by weight than the rest of the body. Many tops scientist have said it is the most complex devices known in the universe. Brain works in all these different ways and that is why it so hard for us to understand how it really functions.

Globalization and American Media to me is the mass production of media that is released worldwide such as film, books, and anything dealing with social media. However, after viewing the video Professor Driver posted on Blackboard my definition is incorrect. According to Professor Driver, the United States does not have the strong influence I was familiar with however it is actually the reversed thinking. This idea is intriguing and would love to learn more about this and how exactly the influences are acquired. Finally, I learned from this video of what is expected from me as a student and what I can achieve with hard work.

The brain works off of a few different things: there is cognitive functioning of the brain; your ability to control your thoughts through focus, and there is chemical functioning of the brain; the chemical components that create the thoughts and synapse throughout the brain. Every idea, emotion, thought, and experience recorded in the brain is going to be a simple bolt of electricity shot through a network of neurons.

The MRIs were taken by a method called segmentation, which gave them enough details of the brain

Based on the NASCAR Under Cover Boss video from the YouTube, there are many themes that are related to the organization learning. One of the themes that have been identified in the video is knowledge sharing through teamwork. In the video, it is shown that his friend, known as Dion who is Rear Tire Carrier and his teammate are sharing their knowledge about tire and how to install the tire in the fastest way to their new member which is the Uncover boss. According to (Nelson, 1993), successful knowledge sharing results in firms mastering and getting into practice product designs, manufacturing processes, and organizational designs that are new to them. Sharing knowledge is common in some organization. Sharing knowledge is important for creating the fast solution and improves the response time. Organization are keep on changing nowadays either in technology, culture and structure. Through sharing knowledge, people can be up-to-date and are getting proper guidance to perform their job without any delays. Moreover, people can also improve their relationship and are comfortable dealing with their teammate when sharing knowledge is implementing into the organization and thus increasing the efficiency of the work.

What's going on inside our brain is a mystery to many of us. The brain doesn't come with an owner's manual, and it's up to each of us to figure out how to work with

After viewing the documentary, I learned many new things about the brain. I learned that a person’s brain controls everything inside of our bodies. This is everything from our movements, thoughts and even controls fear. Our brain is persistently at work to make sure our bodies do exactly what they are supposed to do.

There are several technologies to allow researchers to create structural images of the brain. We can use computerised tomography and magnetic resonance imaging to produce a series of X-rays of the brain with the MRI this does produce much higher definition pictures more helpful because it goes beyond just the structural data. Newer techniques like the position emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imagery. Where the pet requires the participant or patient to ingest a radioactive substance that many if not all participants in a research study may be, are very unwilling do.

The brain is one of the many wonders of the human body. We are a long way from being able to interpret fully, predict, and understand all the capabilities of the brain. Psychologists have been able to ‘peak' into what's happening in the brain and to categorize the brain into certain regions of the brain using imaging such as MRI and CAT scans. These brain regions are somewhat arbitrary and based on limited understanding, but they are nevertheless a useful framework for understanding the function of the brain. We do know that the brain is the computer or main frame of the body and is responsible for sending messages through the body. There are five structures of the brain in which information is sent and received on the vast highway of information being carried throughout the whole body. The five structures are the Myelencephalon, Metencephalon, Mesencephalon, diencephalon, and the Telencephalon.

This region of the brain is considered to be responsible for alignment of thoughts and actions in accordance with internal goals, in this case getting the key to the ignition and turning the key the appropriate amount to complete the action of turning on the vehicle.
