how dose the human brain work?

how dose the human brain work or aka how dose the brony brain work? mine well just works

The brain is insanely complicated, but to simplify it, it uses electrical impulses to communicate with different parts of the brain, which tells your body what to do.

I think you nailed it !

 

It is so wonderfully complex that no one really knows how it works that well! I mean they know a fair amount but even still they have barely scratched the surface!#

 

The brain does so many amazing things !

 

I one of my favourite things, dreams. Like how? How do they even work lol

The functioning and the process of how the brain works is very complex, but the brain controls your body and your movements. The human brain is like a station where there are different parts of it, where each of them have a specific job to help maintain the body's functions.

It's basically a big network of electrical impulses and chemical exchanges. Something happens, which sets of some nerves. These connect to other nerves which connect to others, etc. At some point, so nerves release some chemicals which travel to othe parts of the brain, where they latch onto the appropriate chemical receptors, which sets off more nerves and makes other things happen.

And then the age old question appears, do we have free will, or do we live our life completely controlled by what our brain tells us to do?

Neurology is just breaking the cusp of the inner workings of the brain, nothing is certain we ideas about how the brain works, but it's very difficult to pinpoint A does B and C does D. So far advances in technology such as fMRI, MRI, and PET scanning allows us to begin to understand how the brain does everything, but even that has limitations. We can see point A lighting up in the brain when something happens, but we can't know for certain what exactly is going on in the region to make it happen other than the eletrical impulses in the synapses of neurons. The basics, however, are the frontal lobe works with personality and self-conscious, we found this out through the case study of Phineus Gage how had a reversal in personality after a railroad spike punctured his frontal lobe. Broca's area and Wernicke's Area work with speech production and understanding speech respectively. The midbrain work's with primal sight and hearing (if you want to see some crazy stuff watch videos with a blind person that is blind based on brain complications and having a midbrain intact, they can navigate an obstacle course flawlessly without ever actually "seeing" it based on the midbrain function.) I feel I have gone on long enough, but if you have any questions on how something works in the brain let me know!

And then the age old question appears, do we have free will, or do we live our life completely controlled by what our brain tells us to do?

 

Well that's an interesting question because we tell ourselves through our brain what to do, but the element of free will is usually contested by predestination in philosophical debate. It is very interesting and I suggest you read about it because it is very interesting.

You do realize you could just google it, right? Here's a wikipedia article about our brains.

Yeah we're not goggle.

 

Anyways your brain takes data from what your eyes gather, uses past data from knowledge, and interprets all of that too come with an image and a conclusion.

I'm guessing if you took a 20-sided rubix cube and put it together with the meaning of life, along with the reason silent vowels exist, I think you'd be close.

 

Really though, I don't think anyone knows how it really works.

 

With that whole "only using a small percentage" of it thing.

 

I dunno, it seems there's more to it than meets the eye,

 

(Yes, 'dat Transformers reference xD)

 

It'd be interesting to know how it works, maybe we could learn to use "100%" of it, and bend spoons and crap.

 

Didn't they make a movie about that? ^^"

Okay, the "humans only use (small number)% of their brain" thing annoys the hell out of me. It's a myth. Can everybody please start being slightly less wrong?

Sometimes I look around and the world and I think "I don't think their brain.... works.... at all"

 

You say human, then brony. Then say yours works "just fine". I'm not sure if this is even serious, or what you are intended through this topic.
