The brain is the center of all thought and feeling and altogether senses in the body. The brain is the motherboard of the computer we call our minds. The brain is mostly present or effecting in my life because my grandmother has a brain tumor that was caused by a cancer that she had last year after being perfectly healthy and smoking at the same time for twenty-five years. Her progress with the tumor is excellent but it still exists. This is very hard on my family because out of my three grandmothers two of them are very deathly sick and dying while the other is traveling the world.

     The brain has to be functioning just right for a person to survive because it controls your heart, your lungs, your liver, your intestines and your vital organs. Without a brain you would not walk, talk, or in some cases squawk.

     Another way the brain affects my life is that a very close family friend has a child. He is behind at cranial development because he was born with a very, very rare condition that causes stumped mental development. This condition he was born with is a disconnected corpus callosum. The corpus callosum is a series of nerve fibers that hold together the left and the right hemispheres of the brain. This abnormality causes his developmental abilities to greatly decrease and he is behind developmentally so he will occasionally if not always act a little "immaturely" which is also acceptable of course because he is behind. He is progressing well now because his mind has reached the age where he can do some things by himself but it is unclear whether he will actually ever catch up developmentally. He is almost two now and his name is Kal.

     I myself am affected also by conditions like these because I have ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). This is a disorder that affects people in a neurobiological way. It affects how impulsive one is and it makes it harder to pay attention and sit still. It affects the frontal lobe of the brain which controls the organization and attention of the brain. This disorder just means that the person with it always has to be doing something.

     In conclusion, the brain is so remarkably important that you could not even stand up without it.
