The brain
The brain is the most complex organ in the body. It is the organ that allows us to think, have emotions, move, and dream. Given this complication, it should not be surprising that there are many ways to separate brain parts. Brain parts can be separated on the basis of what they look like to the bare eye, under a microscope, or by what certain brain parts do. The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system and all of the nerves found in our body make up the peripheral nervous system. When you see a picture of the brain you probably think of a wrinkled gray blob. Well, the wrinkles are called cortex and it is where the majority of brain cells or neurons reside. The cortex can be divided into four main lobes. The frontal lobe, where you do your heavy thinking, pondering and planning your actions; temporal cortex, where you process sounds and form memories; occipital cortex, where you process all the things that you see; and parietal cortex, where you integrate or makes sense of all of the different bits of information that are bombarding your brain.
Nutrition
Our mental abilities depend not only on regular use and a varied type of use but also on nutrition. Don't forget although its only 2% of your body mass your brain uses 20% of the body's energy. Your brain needs massive amounts of energy, in comparison with the other organs in your body. Also, the brain needs the proper materials to build, heal and grow it self. Supply your brain well with the right foods and it will supply you with endless thoughts and functions. Omega-3 oils are important compounds that can stimulate brainpower. These oils are found in particular fish and certain seeds and nuts. Your body cannot make Omega-3 oils from other compounds, so it's extremely important for you to eat food rich in them. Omega-3 oils work directly on the brain, nourishing cell membranes and increasing the strength of connections between brain cells. They help you to learn, and make you feel
