What is the brain surrounded by?
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, watery liquid that surrounds the brain.
Does your brain control your muscles?
Let's consider an analogy.
The Human body and the computer:
The brain can be compared to the CPU of a computer. The Skeletal muscular system would then be the equivalent of the key board.
The Skeletal muscular system is the one and only part of the human body that we can feel and control.
In a computer, does the key board controls the CPU or the CPU controls the key board? For the manufacturer, one controls the other. He has to improve both so that the interaction between the two becomes easier and more reliable.
However, according to the user it is the key board that controls the CPU. In fact, he need not even have to know that the computer has a CPU.
The brain can't be improved. We can only make the best use of what we have got.
What is 'I' anatomically?
What is the 'You' we are talking about? Lets consider its first person equivalent, 'I'. What is this 'I' anatomically?
All the skeletal muscles of the body can contract and relax isometrically as a single unit called Unified Skeletal Muscle, popularly known as the mind. This can contract voluntarily (under our control) or involuntarily (On its own). As default, the voluntary part is trapped between two layers of involuntary parts.
This voluntary part of the Unified Skeletal Muscle or Mind is what we call 'I'. The involuntary part is what we call Self.
What controls the brain?
Under normal conditions it is the 'I' that controls our entire life through the brain, the brain playing a very passive role. In fact, we need not even have to know that we have a brain to use the brain.

What would happen if the cerebellum is injured?
- motor (cerebellar) ataxia
- tremor during movemnts (disappear at rest)
- dysmetria (you can't touch any objects precisely at your first attempt)
- decomposition of movement
- dysdiadochokinesis (it's difficult for you to perform alternative movements, something like supination and pronation)
- hypotonia
- nystagmus
- dysarthria
The human brain is larger.
The positioning of the hind brain is different, due to the erect position of humans.
Convolutions are increased in humans (increases surface area).
The sheep's brain has a smaller cerebellum (lesser motor control/less complex learned motor behaviors).
There is a larger pineal gland in sheep (related to circadian rhythms/seasonal reproduction).
Is it possible to damage your brain from constantly cracking your neck?
NO!!!!!! unless you are a certified chiropractor. Answer
I have had a bad habit of cracking my neck and have been to my doctor as well as go to a chiropractor on a regular basis and I am going to tell you - NO DON'T DO IT!! I cannot stress that enough. When you are cracking your neck you are stopping it moving from the proper area it is suppose to move from and moving places that are not suppose to move which in turn cause damage. Cracking your neck can cause long term troubles such as arthritis, cause seizures when your cracking it, chronic headaches, dizziness, or even death.
An EEG is an electroencephalogram which is a device that measures brain activity. If there any problems in the brain they can be seen on an EEG. The brain produces electrical impulses and there are different patterns of impulses. It is this different patterns that are measured with and EEG that can show doctors what might be wrong.
What is the pleasure center in the brain?
Dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens is tied with pleasure and dopamine. All drug addiction targets this center of the brain.
How does a stroke affect the circulatory system?
By definition a stroke affects the brain by blocking small arteries that carry blood to the cells and deliver nutrients and oxygen. These become blocked and the cells that the artery is leading to, die. A similar thing happens when arteries to the heart muscle cells that are blocked causing a heart attack.
How does information travel from the brain to the fingers?
there are millions of little tiny people that live in your body and the guy in your brain is the president so if he says to move your fingers then the people in your fingers jump up and down to move them <^>
How does brain damage affect your mind?
This is a very broad question and instead of getting into the science of it I will explain it simply. It like many other narcotic pain relievers is an opiate. When consumed It is metabolized and converted in your blood into other chemicals one being morphine. It is used for slightly more severe pain than a normal over the counter pain reliever can.
IF you are really interested in the science behind it I recommend starting your own personal research on a site like wikipedia.

What contains receptors that convert sound vibrations to impulses that are sent to the brain?
The cocheal contains receptor cells that convert sound vibrations into impulses that are sent to the brain.
Is kush herbal incense causing brain damage?
There are no studies for the synthetic chemicals used in these 'legal herbs'. The US government recently banned a few of them but the producers held out on about half the known synthetics and never released them until the ban was first attempted in December. So now that there is a ban, there is a whole new line of products. It seems likely these chemicals have similar characteristics as THC, but no one knows the true answer to your question yet.
Kind of. It is mainly just a big ball of nerve cells to form one of the earliest brains.
What separates the cerebral hemispheres of the brain from the cerebellar hemispheres of the brain?
The cerebral hemispheres are connected by the corpus callosum.
What can disorders of the cerebellum cause?
Cerebellar disorders cause inability to control the force, fine positioning, and speed of movements (ataxia ). Disorders of the cerebellum may also impair the ability to judge distance
Does the term ''brain drain'' refer to all of them?
brain drain is the transfering of the professional from the other countries
What are the cerebrum and cerebellum?
one of the basic anatomical difference between these two structures is in there numbers of layers of grey matter. cerebrum has 6 layers of distinct cells in its cortex where as berebellum has only 3 layes of neronal cells in its cortex. other difference that i could come up with was this that they both have difference in their vasculature. cerebellum has a very high vasculature as compared to cerebrum.
