Mysteries Of The Brain By Aristole

This documentary is about mysteries of the brain. First, the documentary mentioned one of the first theories about the human brain made by a philosopher named Aristole. Aristole claimed that the brain controls the temperature of our bodies. He then realized it also controlled our emotions too because our hearts beat faster when we got excited. What we knew about the brain later evolved from the time of Aristole thanks to a machine called the MRI. MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging; this machine shows us images of our brains. Which leads us to the next subject mentioned in the documentary, how the brain works. In your brain you can find approximately 100 billion nerve cells called neurons. Neurons are cells that send and receive signals

to and from the brain. That is how your brain is able to think and react to many different situations. When you are listening to music, the music stimulates different parts of your brain. Musicians claim high school students who study music have higher grade averages in school. Lastly, it specified how vision works and some problems that people may encounter. The part of your brain that manages your vision is named the visual cortex. Our retina turns the light into nerves impulses which can be read by the visual cortex. Sometimes people have problems with their vision. For example, colour blindness. Colour blindness is also called colour vision deficiency which affects 1 in 12 men and 1 inn 200 women worldwide. This documentary had an abundant amount of information.
