Chapter 2

In this chapter I read a lot about the brain and how it functions. It tells the body to do a lot of different things and if one part of the body isn't working right it sends a message to the brain and it tries to fix it or the body just can't function. The brain acts as one and it can't do two things at once. For example if you put a pencil in both hands and someone told you to draw circle with your right hand and a square with your left, you can't do it. Unless, you are the man with two brains. Because doctors cut the part where the two brains connect his brain has two independent parts. He is able to concentrate on two different things and be able to do and act upon the different things. Your brain also to do with what and why you do things you do, so basically if you didn't have a brain you wouldn't be here because your brain does everything. While researching, scientist for out that your brains act and are associated to brains of mice and chimpanzees. That didn't really surprise me because we always learn that monkeys are very smart and that we came from them originally. This chapter was very interesting and I think I learned a lot of things of how the brain works and all the functions it does.
