Why does your brain have crevises?
They are called sulci (singular - sulcus). These are folds of the brain designed to give it more surface area.
For a reasonable layman's definition of sulci, the Wikipedia article for 'Sulcus (neuroanatomy)' gives an introduction.
(I'm a neuroscience student.)
The brain uses the surface area to store information. This area is finite in size and when a person is born, its smoothe. As you age you need more space to store information and the brain makes ridges and valleys on the surface, thereby adding more pages for the book where we store memory.
How do you use 100 percent of the brain?
The belief that people do not use 100 % of their brain is a mere myth. Using 100% of your brain is not exhibited in telekinesis or telepathy. It is exhibited in the daily working of your brain. See link below.
Why do men always have to listen to women and women never listen to men?
They don't.
Although, it's more commonly seen as that way based on the natural ways both men and women are like.
Women are normally very open and chatty, so they talk a lot and like to be heard.
Men, on the other hand, tend to talk less because they feel like it's not important to talk about, doesn't matter, they don't feel like talking, etc. This doesn't mean they don't have anything to say; of course they do. They just normally have less to say, and women take advantage of it by talking a lot.
Sometimes it's the other way around, though. Women can be quiet, too, an men can be loud and chatty. It really depends on the people.
Smell is one of the most primitive senses, and in a way, even individual cells can smell. The sense of smell is based on chemical recognition.
In humans we have an olfactory bulb at the base of our brain that has nerve receptors leading into our nasal cavity. When certain particles come in contact with these receptors, the olfactory bulb sends its message to another part of the brain in the limbic region which is associated with feelings and memory. That is why the experience of smelling can be very emotional. If it smells good, we are attracted to it, and if it smells bad, we are repulsed by it.
Things are different for dung beetles. They love the smell of fresh elephant manure, whereas most people find it offensive.
So another answer to your question is smells smell because they are important not only for our survival, but also our enjoyment of life. hfhjukugkgkgkkg

What part of the brain is sometimes called the Lizard brain?
The part of the brain often referred to as the "Lizard brain" is the basal ganglia, which is involved in basic survival functions, such as aggression, dominance, territoriality, and basic emotional responses. This term is used to highlight its role in instinctual and primal behaviors, akin to those of reptiles. The Lizard brain operates largely on autopilot, managing reactions and habits without conscious thought.
Is rehabilitation the goal when sentencing a person to jail?
Rehabilitation may be one of several goals, but others include: society's need to separate criminals from other potential victims, and to punish the person for doing the crime, which is intended to discourage the person and others from committing like crimes.
The medulla oblongata is a vital part of the brainstem located just above the spinal cord. It plays a crucial role in regulating essential autonomic functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. Additionally, it serves as a pathway for nerve signals between the brain and the spinal cord, facilitating communication throughout the central nervous system. Damage to the medulla oblongata can be life-threatening due to its control over these critical functions.
