	The Brain Is the Boss
		The cerebrum is the thinking part of the brain and it controls your voluntary muscles — the ones that move when you want them to.
		The brain stem is in charge of all the functions your body needs to stay alive, like breathing air, digesting food, and circulating blood.
		The brain stem also sorts through the millions of messages that the brain and the rest of the body send back and forth.

	Brain - MSN Encarta
		The brain is the control center for movement, sleep, hunger, thirst, and virtually every other vital activity necessary to survival.
		The adult human brain is a 1.3-kg (3-lb) mass of pinkish-gray jellylike tissue made up of approximately 100 billion nerve cells, or neurons; neuroglia (supporting-tissue) cells; and vascular (blood-carrying) and other tissues.
		Located at the lower back of the brain beneath the occipital lobes, the cerebellum is divided into two lateral (side-by-side) lobes connected by a fingerlike bundle of white fibers called the vermis.

	Human brain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brain stem structures are almost completely enveloped by the cerebellum and telencephalon, with the medulla oblongata projecting through the foramen magnum to merge with the spinal cord.
		Further, the molecular and cell biological examination of brain pathology is hindered by the scarcity of appropriate samples for study, the (usual) inability to biopsy the brain from a living person suffering from a malady, and an incomplete description of the brain's microanatomy.
		The brain is handling the visual input of the paper and surrounding area, the aural input from both ears, and the sensory input of millions of cells throughout the body.

	Brain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Egypt, from the late Middle Kingdom onwards, in preparation for mummification, the brain was regularly removed, for it was the heart that was assumed to be the seat of intelligence.
		The study of the brain is known as neuroscience, a field of biology aimed at understanding the functions of the brain at every level, from the molecular up to the psychological.
		Creating algorithms to mimic a biological brain is very difficult because the brain is not a static arrangement of circuits, but a network of vastly interconnected neurons that are constantly changing their connectivity and sensitivity.

	Brain Basics: Know Your Brain: National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
		The brain can be divided into three basic units: the forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain.
		Deep within the brain, hidden from view, lie structures that are the gatekeepers between the spinal cord and the cerebral hemispheres.
		The brain and the rest of the nervous system are composed of many different types of cells, but the primary functional unit is a cell called the neuron.

	brain
		A brain tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the brain.
		Brain tumors may be classified as either benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), depending on their behavior.
		Sometimes, brain tumors that are not cancer are called malignant because of their size and location, and the damage they can do to vital functions of the brain.

	Brain and Nervous System
		And it is. The brain not only controls what you think and feel, how you learn and remember, and the way you move and talk, but also many things you're less aware of - such as the beating of your heart, the digestion of your food, and yes, even the amount of stress you feel.
		If you think of the brain as a central computer that controls all the functions of your body, then the nervous system is like a network that relays messages back and forth from it to different parts of the body.
		Both the brain and the spinal cord are protected by bone: the brain by the bones of the skull, and the spinal cord by a set of ring-shaped bones called vertebrae.

	Brain
		While all vertebrate nervous systems have a brain, invertebrate nervous systems have either a centralized brain or collections of individual ganglia.
		Three groups of animals have notably complex brains: the arthropods (insects and crustaceans), the cephalopods (octopi, squids, and similar mollusks), and the craniates (vertebrates)
		Some infectious diseases affecting the brain are caused by viral and bacterial infection(s).

		By electrically stimulating a brain region called the central thalamus, they were able to help him name objects on request, make precise hand gestures, and chew food without the aid of a feeding tube.
		Neurosky is another developer of sexy brain sensorware that collects brainwave signals, eye movements, and other bio-signals which are captured and amplified via their patented dry-active sensor technology.

	The Human Brain: function, body location, shape, conditions that affect it
		The brain is the portion of the central nervous system in vertebrates (animals with bones) that lies within the skull.
		The entire brain is enveloped in three protective sheets known as the meninges, continuations of the membranes that wrap the spinal cord.
		is damage to the brain due either to blockage in blood flow or to loss of blood from blood vessels in the brain.

	Handedness and Brain Lateralization
		The term brain lateralization refers to the fact that the two halves of the human brain are not exactly alike.
		This association between hand and brain captured the imaginations of researchers because it would be so useful (so easy, so non-invasive, so cheap) to study patterns of brain asymmetries by using a person's handedness as a marker for brain lateralization (direct methods involve neurosurgery, invasive drug testing, or expensive imaging techniques).
		Clarifying the relationship between handedness and functional brain specializations, and learning more about the developmental and neurobiological mechanisms that underlie these relationships, may help us better understand a wide range of seemingly unrelated issues such as dyslexia, stuttering, human variation, comparative brain research, developmental neurobiology of the brain, and the origins of human language.
