The brain is a true wonder that needs to be nurtured, protected and cared for
The human brain is the most complex living structure known in the universe. This single organ controls every aspect of our bodies, ranging from heart rate to emotion, learning and memory. The brain has enabled humans to achieve breathtaking milestones: walking on the moon, mapping the human genome, or composing masterpieces of literature, art and music. It is the home of our personalities, thoughts, feelings and other human characteristics. It is the ability of the brain to perform all of these functions that makes us human. The brain is a true wonder that needs to be nurtured, protected and cared for.
