46 - How does the human brain work?

The human brain is like a super powerful computer. Here's how it works:

  1. Input: Your eyes, ears, skin, and other senses send messages to your brain.
  2. 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.
  3. Storage: Your brain stores information in its 'memory' so you can remember things.
  4. 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.
