The Brain

In animals the brain, or encephalon (Greek for "in the head"), is the control center of the central nervous system, responsible for thought. In most animals, the brain is located in the head, protected by the skull and close to the primary sensory apparatus of vision, hearing, equilibrioceptive, taste and olfaction. While all vertebrates have a brain, most invertebrates have either a centralized brain or collections of individual ganglia. Primitive animals such as sponges do not have a brain at all. Brains can be extremely complex. For example, the human brain contains more than 100 billion neurons, each linked to as many as 10,000 others.

One thing we know for sure the brain is a part of the body structure and for good cellular health within the brain, the recommended vitamin is fish oil-Omega 3s.

For our purposes we can think of it as the link between Body and Mind. This is where the subject becomes very interesting. Simply put is the Brain the Mind? Or is the Mind something different and/or in addition to the Brain?
