Reflection Of The Human Brain

The human brain is an extraordinary, complex, and fascinating organ that we as humans posses. The brain does not only help with our bodily functions, but as the brain matures it creates who we are, based on our past experiences. The brain contains many roles as to how we react and develop.

Brain development is such an astonishing aspect of the human body. In this modern generation there are continuous studies to discover every feature on how the brain works. This first video Inside the Human Body shows exactly how brain development starts to form.

It is also interesting to find out that as an infant in the womb we were visually trained with the use of our rods and the small amount of light detected through our mothers belly to see in the dark. The light adjustment of the pupil sends a signal to the brain and creates an image. As more light enters the cones, in the eye, are activated to create a colored world/ image.
