836 - What is the brain, and what are its main functions?

The brain is like the boss of your body. It's a soft, squishy organ inside your head, and it's in charge of controlling everything you do.

The brain has three main functions:

1. Thinking and learning: It helps you think, remember, and learn new things.
2. Controlling movements: It sends messages to your muscles to move your body, so you can walk, run, and play.
3. Regulating your body: It helps keep your body healthy by controlling things like your heartbeat, breathing, and digestion.

Think of your brain like a supercomputer that makes sure your body works properly.
