How does the brain think? Tom, 16, San Diego, California
Have you ever wondered how your mind creates ideas or why did something appear randomly in your head? It may seem like magic – but in reality the brain resembles a supercar Think, learn and make decisions.
Imagine your mind as a crowded city with many streets and buildings. Each part of the brain has a specific function to do, just like certain areas of the city or some buildings that serve different purposes. When you have an idea, it looks like a message walking across the city, passing from one area to another.
your Professor of Psychology and NeurologyI studied the brain for nearly 20 years. Neurologistsand Neurologists and Neurosal surgeons Work every day to better understand the brain. There is still a lot to learn.
Practice and repetition create skills
Nerve cells He is a major brain player – these are small cells that send and receive signals and messages so that they can communicate with each other.
Your mind has a place between 80 billion and 100 billion nerve cells. Nerve cells tend to A collection together to form nervous spacesWhich will be like streets and highways in the analogy of the city. When you have an idea, nerve cells in your mind are released electrical impulses. These pulses tend to travel along similar paths and release small chemicals called neurotransmitters along the way.
These neurotransmitters are similar to the construction crew that builds roads, which facilitates the delivery of messages. You can imagine this as an earthen road, but with more traffic – that is, nerve cell signals – travel to the dirt road, and the road is upgraded to a paved street. If the traffic continues, it is promoted to a highway.
While you learn new things and experience the world around you, These connections are increasing strength. For example, when you learn to ride a bike, you may be unstable and find it difficult to coordinate all the different muscles along with your ability to balance. But the more you practice, the more nerve cells that control your muscles and your ability to balance the fire together, which makes it much easier during exercise. Nerve cells are the wires together and the formation of nerve networks.
For this reason, practice and repetition are important to improve your skills, whether it is piano or learning a language. Nervous networks are created and then strengthened as the number of times you communicate together. Scientists have a saying in this field: “Nerve cells that release a wire together.” Some thinking or behavior patterns can reach this type of recurrent simultaneous activity.
Development of creativity
You just realize a A very small part of the information Enter your mind. It constantly receives inputs from your senses – tourist attractions, sounds, tastes, odors and touch. When you see a nice puppy or hear your favorite song, your senses send signals to the brain, which leads to a reaction of a series of ideas and emotions.
Brain Also store memoriesWhich is similar to the files on a computer you can access whenever you need them. Memories help form your thoughts and affect how to see the world.
If you remember a fun day on the beach, it may make you feel happy and relaxed. If you smell apple pie, it may remind you of baking your grandmother. These ideas are run because these gentle connections have been formed in your mind, and through repetition, over time.
Creativity is another great strength of the brain. When you let your imagination escape, your mind can come New ideas, stories and inventions. All artists, writers and scientists use their creative brains to explore new possibilities and solve problems.
Have you ever faced the moment of “Yorica” when a great idea emerges in your head from nothing? This is the way your mind is to connect the points and reach a solution.
Maintain the health of your mind
Most scholars agree on this Sleep is really important In order for your mind to process information from today and allow it to rest and form new contacts. Many people find that they have new ideas or ideas after a good night sleep. The opposite is also true – without enough sleep, you may feel that you cannot think straight.
Along with enough sleep, Eat healthy foods and Practicing. Just as the car needs fuel smoothly, your mind needs nutrients and oxygen to work at its best and increase your thinking strength.
Activities that you challenge you as well: readingDoing puzzles, playing music, making art, Mathematics practiceWriting articles and book reports And the press. Positive thinking It also helps. Keep in mind that everything you consume – what you eat, what you see, listen to or read – has the ability to influence your mind.
On the contrary, Cigaretteand Vapingand Alcohol And the use of drugs kills brain cells. So injuries that can occur when exercising such as football, football and cycling may occur – however Wearing a helmet can occur a big difference.
The brain is a great organ that works tirelessly to create ideas, memories and ideas. As technology continues to improve, scientists will learn more and more on how biological processes do our conscious experiences. The learning challenges about the brain are similar to a nervous scientific moon – we have a long way to cut it before we completely understand how it works.
