Our Very Special Brain (((:



You know that the human brain is incredibly unique. You see, without our brain we could never function like a normal person. Its our brain that controls everything.
Our brain is faster and powerful than a super computer. Lets say that your kitty was on the kitchen counter and they were just about to step on the hot stove. Well, the first thing you would react is that you should grab your kitty. Your brain calculates the timing and tells your muscles to move. You just saved your kitty fro hurting itself.
The energy the brain produces can power up a light bulb. Your brain contains about 100 billion neurons. These neurons bounce around in your head like a pinball machine. Each neuron contain a little bit of electricity, if your gather all the neurons, that can produce a lot of electricity.
The neurons are also very fast. They can travel faster then 150 mph.
As you learn, your brain changes. How? Well, when your learning something, that message transfers to all the little neurons and that makes a connection. That creates a new memory or thought.
Exercise can help you get smarter. Scientists have found out that when you exercise, your body creates a new chemical that helps you more likely to learn.
