What is "brain"?

The brain is the complex and intricate organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals. It controls and coordinates all bodily functions, including sensory perception, motor activity, thought, and emotion. The brain is made up of billions of interconnected neurons that communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals, forming neural networks that enable learning, memory, and cognitive processes. It is protected by the skull and nourished by the circulatory system, and its proper functioning is essential for maintaining health and survival.
