The brain becomes the most complex thing in the universe because it controls so many different things in the human body. It regulates our metabolism‚ temperature

The Behaving Brain: Video Response The video put the chapter into visual perspective for me in terms of learning about our brain structure and it’s different parts. The video describes the three important jobs our neurons do: receive information from other cells‚ process information‚ and transmit it to the rest of the body. Without our neurons we would have no brain activity. All behavior begins with an action from a neuron. First the brain gathers information from the receptors and spread it

When deciding on which hemisphere I rely on the most‚ it can easily be said that I use the left-hemisphere more so than the right. I am
