Role of Brain

 The brain is the body’s control panel that controls several operations vital to life. Apart from being the body structure that most people associate the brain with, it involves cognitive, emotional, and physiological processes which constitute humanity. 

 

 First of all, the brain controls analysis of stimuli coming from the external environment. It interprets information gathered from the organs of sensations, such as vision, hearing, feeling, taste, and smell and converts them into perceivable and usable perceptions and response. This ability enables one to go about his or her activities and also to function within society in the right manner. 

 

 Secondly, mental and intellectual functions are coordinated by the brain; they include thinking, memory, and learning. It hosts our mind whereby we are able to reason, create, analyze situations, and even make concrete decisions. It records our experiences as individuals and as societies and thus contains the key components of our self images and of our existence. 

 

 Socially, the brain controls feelings and response to certain occurrences and ways of dealing with them and other people. It creates feelings and moods such as happiness, anger, affection, and depression and our interpersonal interactions. 

 

 Furthermore, the brain is involved in automatic activities of the human body including the beating of the heart, the breathing process and digestion system through the autonomic nerves. It is vital in the regulation of smooth coordinated movements that enables one to walk, talk, write and even perform delicate operations perfectly. 

 

 In other words, the neural connections in one’s brain determine the harmonious relationship between the mind and matter. Here, it is not an organ, but the place of our consciousness, intelligence, and humanity that defines it and emphasizes its crucial place for the formation of the personality and our experience.
