Functions,[object Object],Every animal you can think of , from mammals, to birds, reptiles, fishand amphibians - has a brain. But the human brain is unique. Although it's not the largest, it gives us the power to speak, imagine and problem solve. It is truly an amazing organ.,[object Object],The brain performs an incredible number of tasks including the following:,[object Object],[object Object]
It accepts a flood of information about the world around us from various senses (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, etc.).
It handles physical movement when walking, talking, standing or sitting.
It lets us think, dream, reason and experience emotions.,[object Object]
Parts of the Brain:  Cerebrum,[object Object],The cerebrum fills up most of your skull.  It takes up about 2/3 of the brain. It is involved in remembering, problem solving, thinking, and feeling. It also controls movement.,[object Object]
