Exploring the Intricacies of the Human Brain

The human brain is so interesting because of all of its functions. The brain is so unique every function is unique and the brain is capable of doing anything. In the video “Building Your Brain: Inside the Human Body” we can see how all of this function take place and see the wonderful things are brain can do. In the video “Into the Mind: Emotions” we can also see how important our brain is when it comes to our emotions. These two videos discuss really important things about our brain.

In the first video, it starts from when we are an embryo until we reach age 20 when are brain is completely developed. The things the brain is capable of doing are shown in the lives of different people in this video. It starts out by exploring the life of Guem a

As their brain develops they start to see how it really doesn’t mean they are gone forever. Another really important function of the brain is balancing. The semicircular canals are responsible for our ability to balance. In countries like Cameroon moms want their babies to start walking as soon as possible. They start teaching them how to walk since they are 1 month old. By the time they are 10 months they are walking. Another interesting case on how we can teach our brain to do amazing things is in the case of Angelina, born with only half of a healthy brain she lives a pretty normal life. She has complex local seizures making her not be active and be unresponsive. Her condition is called Sturge- Weber syndrome only the left side of her brain is perfectly healthy. She goes through a surgery hoping to survive and still be the active happy baby she is. Doctors have hope that she will recover because her brain is not fully developed yet so it is still flexible at her age which makes it more hopeful that she will recover. At the age of 1 the human brain loses some of its flexibility making it impossible for functions to transfer to the other side of your brain.
