    Brain Basics: Know Your


    Brain
    The brain is the most complex part
    of the human body. This three­pound
    organ is the seat of intelligence,
    interpreter of the senses, initiator of
    body movement, and controller of
    behavior. Lying in its bony shell and
    washed by protective fluid, the brain
    is the source of all the qualities that
    define our humanity. The brain is the crown jewel of the human
    body.

    This fact sheet is a basic introduction to the human brain. It may


    help you understand how the healthy brain works, how to keep it
    healthy, and what happens when the brain is diseased or
    dysfunctional.
