How? How Are We Able To Think And Remember?

brain

The brain is a vital of the human body. It is a part of the nervous system within the skull. It receives and interprets impressions passed in to it by the nerves of our five senses. The brain consists of millions of very small ''brain cells'' that receives sensations from the 'sense' organs and give orders to our muscles. It is also made up of a complicated system of communicating 'fibres' - very small electric wires. 

When a child is born, all the 'cells' that have to do with 'thinking' and 'memory' contain a large number of little grains but do not have 'impressions'. In a short time after birth, the senses start 'taking notice' - see, hear, feel, etc. ,Then the impressions are passed on to the brain cells and produce what we call ''experience''.

In the course of years, but putting one experience with another the brain accomplishes the act called ''thinking''. When someone asks a question, or when the senses convey to the brain a particular sight, sound or smell, the brain becomes capable of recalling other experience by communication between its ''cells''. The brain 'remembers'.
