2. BRAINPOWER: COMPLEX ORGAN CONTROLS
YOUR EVERY THOUGHT AND MOVE
The brain is the most complex part of the
human body. This three-pound organ is the
seat of intelligence, interpreter of the senses,
initiator of body movement, and controller of
behavior.
4. The cerebrum is the largest of the three brain
sections, account for about 85 percent of the brains
weight and has four lobes.

5. THE FOUR LOBES OF THE CEREBRUM
• FRONTAL LOBE
the frontal lobe determines personality and emotion
• TEMPORAL LOBE
the hearing and word recognition abilities are in the temporal lobe.
• PARIETAL LOBE
the parietal lobe helps people understand what they see and feel.
• OCCIPITAL LOBE
vision function are located in the occipital lobe.
6. The cerebellum controls the voluntary movement.
When you want to lift your fork, wave your hand or
wink at a cutie, you form the thought and then an
area in the cerebellum translates your will into an
action.

7. The brain stem connects the spinal cord and the
brain. It controls functions that keep people alive
such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and
food digestion.

8. A
CRITIC
AL
AGE
There is a consensus among researchers that braincells
regenerate throughout life said Doug Postels, a pediatric
neurosurgeon in New Orleans, but that new growth happens
very slowly after a certain age. "The size of the brain
doesn't increase much after 3" Postels explains. During the
first three years of life, the brain experiences most of its
growth and develops most of its potential for learning.
9. ∆ YOU CAN GROW YOUR INTELLIGENCE
Research shows that brain is more
like a muscle. It changes and gets
stronger when you use it.
10. ∆ YOU CAN GROW YOUR INTELLIGENCE
When you learn new things, these
tiny connections on the brain
actually multiply and get stronger.
11. ∆ YOU CAN GROW YOUR INTELLIGENCE
The more that you challenge your
mind to learn, the more your brain
cells grow. Then things that you
found very hard or even possible to
do become easy.
