The Human Brain
The Human Brain
The brain is a complex organ located inside the skull and it manages activity for our nervous system. It is part of the Central Nervous System (CNS). It is located in the anterior and superior region of the cranial cavity, and it's present in all vertebrae. It floats in the cranium in a transparent liquid, called cerebrospinal fluid, which protects it both physically and immunologically.
Neuroplasticity
"Brain plasticity refers to the capacity of the nervous system to change its structure and its function over a lifetime, in reaction to environmental diversity. Although this term is now commonly used in psychology and neuroscience, it is not easily defined and is used to refer to changes at many levels in the nervous system ranging from molecular events, such as changes in gene expression, to behavior."
Brain Research
Brain training is a term that is becoming more and more common. This is mainly because as scientists learn more about the brain, the more we realize how important it is to keep our brains in shape, just like we work to keep our bodies in shape.
