The video really provided me with a lot of insights and new knowledge. What distinguishes us from other animals with brains is our ability to reason, think, process, and speak, among other things. I discovered that different regions of the brain control different functions in our bodies. It amazes me that a single organ controls me and is aware of its own existence. We were shown a caricature of a person, with the largest parts being the parts of the body that receive a lot more attention from our brain, particularly the lips and hands. Because we use our hands for almost everything we do every day, it stands to reason that they require more brain activity. The brain works hard to keep us alive. The brain, which begins with the statement "I think therefore I am," indicates that this is the home of all human thought and consciousness. The film discussed how the brain is the pinnacle of evolution, a small complex intelligence-gathering system whose mental reach can encompass the entire universe. It is the only object aware of its own existence, capable of abstract thought, and capable of passing down knowledge through generations. As I observe Brian and his classmates at school, the film examines the brain. The video shows how the brain works. Because it controls all of our voluntary and involuntary movement or action, the brain is the most important organ in our human body. The complexity of our brain to animal has always fascinated me.
