46 - How does the human brain work?
The human brain is like a super powerful computer. Here's how it works:
- Input: Your eyes, ears, skin, and other senses send messages to your brain.
- Processing: Your brain uses tiny cells called neurons to process all the information. It's like a big network of tiny computers talking to each other.
- Storage: Your brain stores information in its 'memory' so you can remember things.
- Output: Your brain sends signals to your muscles, telling them what to do, like moving or speaking.
Imagine it like a computer: - Input (senses) = keyboard - Processing (neurons) = computer's processor - Storage (memory) = hard drive - Output (actions) = monitor and speakers!
So, your brain is like a powerful computer that helps you learn, remember, and control your body.
