How important is the brain?

The brain is the most complex organ in the human body, and perhaps the most important.
The brain is the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and invertebrate animals. Some primitive animals such as jellyfish and starfish have a decentralized nervous system without a brain, while sponges lack any nervous system at all.
A difference of invertebrate, in vertebrates, brain is located in the head, protected by the skull and close to the sensory apparatus of vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell.

The brain performs an incredible number of functions:
•Controls body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate and breathing.
•It accepts all information about the world around, from various senses (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, etc).
•Handles physical motion when walking, talking, standing or sitting.
•It lets you think, dream, reason and experience emotions.

The brain has different parts that work together. They are:
1. cerebrum
2. cerebellum
3. brain stem
4. pituitary gland
5. hypothalamus

The brain can be extremely complex. The cerebral cortex of the human brain contains roughly 15–33 billion of neurons, perhaps more, depending on gender and age, linked with up to 10,000 synaptic connections each. Each cubic millimeter of cerebral cortex contains roughly one billion synapses. These neurons communicate with one another by means of long fibers called axons, which carry signal pulses called action potentials to distant parts of the brain or body and target them to specific recipient cells.


For the great importance of this organ in the human body is essential, after learning how it works so I can know that stimulate their development and prevent any problems in it.

In my career, education that will be given to the mother of your baby's development is extremely important, is essential for fostering a positive development that will benefit the life of the new being the whole cycle.
