2.  The brain is a very
complex organ. It is
said to be the most
powerful computer
in the world.
 The brain controls
every thing you do.
Even when you
think you aren’t
doing anything,
your brain is
constantly working.

3.  Your brain sits on top of something called the
brainstem. It runs down the middle your
spine. It then turns in to the biggest nerve in
your body.
 Nerves are the vessels in your body that make
you move and feel. They are all over your
body.
 Pain is a very strong feeling. It is a good thing
and a bad thing. The good thing about it is it
keeps you conscious. Some pains can be so
big traveling from your nerves to your brain,
you can fell it. It is the throbbing pain.

4.  There are many types
of diseases that can
occur in the brain.
Here are two.
 Cancer and brain
tumors
 These are mutations
caused by radiation
which can be caused
by anything that
gives of
radiation…like cell
phones

5.  Even though optical
illusions are for your
eyes, they are for
your brain also.
 Though your think
your eyes tricked,
they’re not, it is your
brain trying to figure
out what the truth is.

6.  Your eyes are controlled
at the back of your head.
They are connected by
something called the
optic nerve. As it runs to
the back of your head, it
switches. So your left eye
is controlled by the right
side of your brain and
your right eye is
controlled by the left side
of your brain

8.  Can music really help the brain? Yes it can!
 Studies show that classical music can actually
improve an infant’s memory and improve
someone’s i.q for a short time. That is why
pregnant mothers sing to their babies.

9.  It is the most common
music in the world even
though it might not seem
like it.
 The greatest classic
composer is non other
than Beethoven.
 Now here is some classic
music

11.  This is not just for memory, it can do a lot
more. When you are listening to music, all of
the sound waves are entering your ear and
being turned in to energy that runs to your
brain.
 It goes in to a part of the brain called the
temporal lobe. It controls sound in your brain.
It is then transformed into what we all know.

13.  Classical music can also control emotions.
 How it can actually make you smarter is that
your brain hears all kinds of different
instruments and is trying to figure out what
they are, making you think about it and if you
are doing work, it will make you think harder.

14.  Next time you are downloading music, check
on some classical music, it can help you out.
