"The study of the human brain and its disease remains one of the greatest scientific and philosophical challenges ever undertaken" - Floyd E. Boom, 2007

Functions of the Brain


The human brain is one of the most complicated objects in the universe. Although it weighs less than 3 pounds, it manages everything from our heart rates to our thoughts and feelings.

The functions of the brain are varied, and include: thinking, perception (sensing), emotion, signaling, and many of our physical functions. Our cognition, feelings and behavior are all the result of our brains.
