Our Amazing Brain

With the idea of controllers we can control with our minds, we need to investigate how our brain actually works. Watch the following video and comment on the function of the brain and the cortex and the job of the neuron.

The brain is the controll room as we all know. The cortex is the outer youngest layer of the brain. The neurons are the part of the brain that actually thinks and tells us what to do.

I didn't know that there were electric currents in my brain. This was interesting.-Tyler-

The cortex is the human thinking cap. It allows us to see, hear, touch, and speak. The cortex is full of neaurons. Neaurons transfer messages between each other. Their jobs are to communicate with one another.

The cortex is like a reality check?! It allows us to hear,speak,see, and touch. The neaurons send and recieves messages between each other.

The brain controls our body. The cortex is the outer layer of the brain and controls our sense of reality. The neurons litter the cortex and help it function. They send messages to each other to produce thoughts.

The brain chooses how every part of the body works and makes it do the work. The cortex is in charge of all of our senses,(touch,speaking,hearing,etc.)

the cortex is the outside of the brain and controls the actions of things like to blink, see, and talk and the neurons send messages to each other and control thoughts

The old part of the human brain controls emotion. The cortex is the new part of the brain. It allows us to see, touch, hear, and feel. The cortex is also packed with nevers cells.

The cortex lets us see, hear, and smell.Neurons give and recieve electrical signals that let us know what we're doing.

The "old brain" controls emotion, helps build memory, heart rate, breathing, and forms intamite connections with "new brain" or the cortex. The cortex is the outer layer of the brain and gives us a "reality check" and it allows us to see, hear, touch, and speak. It is also known as our thinking cap. It controls our thoughts ideas and plans. This is where many nuerons are located. Nuerons job is to communicate with one another!

The brain controlls our body.The cortex hears,smells,and touches.The neurons tell us what to do. -Emily B. =]-

The brain contolls everything we do.
And everypart depends on another.
It is like an assembly line.
Without one part, the other would not happen
