Another answer
This is perhaps the most interesting, and difficult, question in Answers.com!
Neuroscientists think that the mind is a result of the operations of the brain, but they are not sure which operations, or even which part of the brain. We don't even know whether only humans have minds, or only mammals. My guess is all mammals have minds because they have a special brain region called the neocortex. This is largest in humans, and maybe humans have "more" mind than other mammals.

Billions of neurons communicate with each other via trillions of pathways called 'synapses'. The pattern of electrical activity that this creates is what gives rise to everything we do and think and how we feel. However, we understand but a handful of these patterns and how they relate to various states of consciousness and mental tasks . The biggest challenge neuroscientists face is decoding what these patterns mean and then inventing ways of manipulating them for therapeutic purposes.
What is the back of the brain?
The brain controls the human body.
I don't know if the answer above is supposed to be sarcastic, or just someone who doesn't know and wanted to add something anyway. That is an incredibly useless answer.

Why can you not remember the past?
You don't want to forget your past as there are so many valuable experiences good or bad that you have learned from that have come to shape your being. I realize you may want to forget one certain incident but instead of thinking you would like to forget it think of the situation and what you may have learned from it - what I mean is some things happen for a reason and others we create on our own, what could you take from the situation and apply or change for your future as to not repeat whatever it is that you would like to forget or maybe a behaviour you learnt maybe useful. Things are only as bad as we let them be and if you try to look at things from different angles - as they say if you get lemons make lemonade.

Well, I learned in Science Class that your brain is used to the color, which the only way to see the color, is how the light reflects on it. If you try an experiment, like this.

Look in the mirror, and turn off the lights. After a few seconds, the light comes back becasue your brain is telling you that it is that color. Weird huh??
