Brain: The Most Complex Organ

-


  Brain is one of the most fascinating organs in our body. It has approximately 86 million neurons which help to our functions such as breathing and learning. Our brain is consist of 2 main places: the brain stem and the cerebellum. It has four lobes; the parietal, frontal, temporal, and occipital lobes.


   Brain gyrus leads to communication with every neurons effectively. If the number of gyrus decrease, people will probably have a learning disability and thinking slowly. As long as people develop themselves with learning another foreign language, solving a puzzle or playing instruments, their neurons will become stronger. Moreover, people can prevent Alzheimer disease with this knowledge.

   We differ from animals in terms of thinking and making a decision. Herculano Houzel clarified this that in the brain's cortex area, human has millions of neurons in there, unlike animals. For this reason, we have many difference between the animals.

   We have several abnormalities about the brain. One brief example might clarify this sentence. For instance, a person who had brain surgery, when he opens his eyes for the first time, he can speak another foreign language he never heard this one. This very interesting incident has not any explanation yet.

   There are 6 fascinating knowledge about the most complex organ:

1- Crying strongly and laughing strongly are the same thing according to the brain. When we are really happy, we can cry at the same time laughing because of the hypothalamus.

2- Yawning is really significant for the brain because it sends more oxygen to the brain. Neurotransmitters control this reaction.

3- The brain is split into two different areas, the human body is controlled opposite side of these areas.

4- The brain can not feel the pain. When a person has brain surgery, he is awake. For this reason, we don't need any anaesthetic matters.

5- When we die, our neurons stay alive for 3 minutes which use garnered energy to be active.

6- Our brain is similar to a 14 or 20w. 💡 

   Unfortunately, we have just discovered 14% of the brain. Provided we completely discover the brain, we will find the unanswered questions about us.

The Smallest Incredible Bird: Hummingbird

   Around the world, there are many astonishing and unique animal species. The smallest migrating bird "Hummingbird" is one of them. Hummingbirds are named for the sound they make are one of the great wonders in all of nature. Their wings make the titular "humming" sound they are named for. According to the conducted research, hummingbirds were discovered as fossils in Germany 47 million years ago. Their length is just 10-12 cm and their weight is 18-24 grams. Approximately, the lifespan of hummingbirds is 3-5 years.     Hummingbirds are extremely smart and their brain is larger. They can beat their tiny wings 50-70 times in a second. One of their daily habits is visiting 1000-2000 flowers to drink nectar (that also helps pollination). Their tiny heart pumps the blood 1200 times per minute. They have a very high metabolism that gives rise to eat all day long just to survive.     According to scientists, hummingbirds are special because they have lots

    Are you ready for your new life? Metaverse is a kind of digital space that represents us and everything. It also refers to online 3-D virtual environments through personal computing using virtual reality devices.      Nowadays, many leading brands such as Microsoft, NVIDIA and Facebook (Meta) are struggling to create a new virtual universe. They are creating tools such as VR, headsets and watches to enhance the feeling of everything.      This new alternative world has several advantages and bright sides. First, we get our avatars like a cartoon characters. Then, we enter the new world. One of the best sides of Metaverse is that we interact with people who aren’t physically near. Moreover, by new virtual reality tools, we will feel people although they are on the other side of the world. Users can also use messaging apps and video calls. A life-like universe allows people to go to a concert and experience a show with other real people inside the Metaverse.      There is a picture f

What Is Biomedical Engineering?

      Biomedical Engineering is a branch of science that deals with medical problems. BME is a complex field which consists of medicine, biology, computer science, and mechanical engineering. Biomedical engineers are basically making artificial limbs, designing the structure to be similar to a normal human organ, and designing the mechanical structure to maintain the best quality for humans.                  One of the earliest basic examples created by Egyptians 3000 years ago because humans needed to develop life-enhancing tools. Years and years, BME has been growing much faster than the average for all occupations from 2012 to 2019. Imagination is one of the significant elements because If you want to create a device, it should be cheaper, faster, and accurate than the other created devices. It is an amazing and inspiring point that If a biomedical engineer creates something, he may save thousands of lives.          A biomedical engineer can create prosthesis, surgical systems/devic
