Morning Starters: Summer 2 - Brilliant Brain
Did You Know?
Ancient people once thought thinking happened in organs like the heart, liver or spleen. Over time, they discovered the brain was the body’s control centre, linked to everything through the nervous system. Observing brain injuries helped scientists reveal its role in functions like speech, memory and smell. When certain areas were damaged, those abilities were affected. Yet, despite centuries of study, the brain remains a mystery with much to uncover.
