Human Brain: Combo of Many Aspects
by Anuradha Home Chowdhury
As human beings, I believe we are blessed to have a brain. At one point, I told myself, “All living beings have a brain,” but with time I realized that the human brain has uniquely evolved—shaped by both geological and biological evolution. It’s what sets us apart.
Neuroscientists constantly try to unravel the mysteries of this complex organ. Often, we associate the brain with intelligence. But it’s more than just that—it’s the seat of who we are.
Honestly, I don’t know why I picked this topic. But here I am, continuing to write, even with my half-baked, haphazard knowledge.
Still, we often hear people praise human qualities as solely brain-driven—and that makes me curious.
1. Learn About the Human Brain with Interest
Start by reading scientific magazines. Learn about the human body—especially the brain. You don’t need to be a scientist to appreciate how fascinating it is. Even basic knowledge about the cerebrum, brain stem, and cerebellum can transport you back to those childhood science classes.
2. Main Brain Function
The brain handles reasoning, movement, creativity, math, emotions, language, and sensations. As kids, we often heard, “He or she is very sharp!” That’s the brain at work. The concept of left vs. right brain is intriguing—logic and language live more on the left, while creativity finds space on the right.
3. Almighty Made This Engine
I truly believe the brain makes us unstoppable. From the Stone Age to the digital era, we’ve evolved, invented, and progressed—all thanks to our minds. Human curiosity never rests. Overthinking, imagining, calculating—it’s what pushes mankind forward.
4. Let’s Study About Neuroscience
Recently, I started exploring neuroscience, and I found myself completely hooked. The human brain contains billions of tiny cells called neurons. Our every action—smiling, getting angry, being surprised—is rooted in brain chemistry.
Suddenly, understanding why I behave a certain way or how you respond differently became more interesting. Neuroscience, to me, isn’t just a subject—it’s a mirror to our emotions and actions.
5. Mental Health is a Major Part of the Brain
Mental health is now rightly gaining attention. It involves everything—peace of mind, optimism, emotional resilience. Protecting our mental health from anxiety, sadness, or negativity is crucial for human growth.
Thankfully, awareness has increased. From podcasts to newspapers, mental health is now discussed openly. And yes—food habits play a role too. What we eat affects how we feel and think.
6. Brain Disease
Though it’s not a pleasant subject, brain diseases are real and present in our lives. Disorders like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, depression, and stroke are all connected to the brain.
It’s immature to think the brain only brings intelligence. We must face the darker realities too. The same organ that enables great achievements can also malfunction. So, we need to care for it—not just admire it.
7. My Take About the Brain
My personal belief? Love yourself and eat well. Regular exercise does wonders—for both body and brain. A healthy brain helps in better decision-making. I try to stay informed with modern brain research and apply simple things to keep my brain healthy.
Most places today offer good medical facilities. Globally, people can access brain-related care. The study of the human brain isn’t new—it’s centuries old. Meditation, for example, helps calm the brain and improve clarity.
8. A Few More Thoughts on This Topic
Biology, chemistry, and even history help us understand parts of the brain. Did you know the human brain contains around 86 billion neurons? They help us think, feel, create, and learn.
There are still many myths about the brain. Recently, I read that reading books helps expand thinking capacity far more than screen time. That insight really stayed with me.
9. Human Brain is Amazing
Isn’t it incredible how the brain multitasks—recognizing, analyzing, and reacting? Despite the diversity in the world, we all rely on this single biological organ.
The prefrontal cortex gives us the power to judge and control impulses. And yes, our brain literally generates electricity! Thanks to neuroplasticity, even brain injuries can be healed over time.
10. Memory
All memories—good or bad—are reconstructed in the brain. Interestingly, the brain itself has no pain receptors. It silently consumes energy from our body to function.
It’s not like a computer storing files. Instead, when we recall something, our brain rebuilds it based on emotions and past experiences. Learning new skills can give the brain a refreshed perspective on life.
Conclusion
I’m no expert on the brain, but my curiosity led me here. This blog is my humble attempt to inspire others to care for this amazing organ. After all, the brain gives us courage, clarity, and creativity.
Whether it’s planning a career, mapping a dream, or solving daily problems—it all starts here. So, eat healthy, stay active, meditate when you can, and never stop learning. Because the human brain, truly, is a marvel.
