So you major in psychology, and find the brain boring? Not to seem rude, but there's a chance you might be in the wrong class.
Anyway, if it's a simple essay, rather than thorough research, you could go, for example, with any mental disorders you most relate to, read some of the scientific analyses and see what you have to say anent it. You'll find the words when you're clear on how you feel.
Here is something to think about. The human brain is easily the most mysterious part of the human miracle.
Why? First, in the brain stem there is a network of nerves the size of your little finger. This network is called the reticular formation. It acts as a kind of traffic control center, monitoring the millions of messages coming into the brain, sifting out the trivial and selecting the essential for attention by the cerebral cortex. Each second this little network of nerves permits only a few hundred, at most, to enter the conscious mind.
“The brain of the human infant, unlike that of any other animal, triples in size during its first year,” states the book The Universe Within.2 In time, about 100 billion nerve cells, called neurons, as well as other types of cells, are packed into a human brain, although it makes up only 2 percent of the body’s weight.
It is not certain just what physiological changes take place in the brain when we learn. But experimental evidence suggests that as we learn, especially in early life, better connections are formed, and more of the chemicals bridging the gaps between neurons are released. Interesting on this point is the Bible’s comment that deeper matters are more easily understood by mature people “who through use have their perceptive powers trained.” (Hebrews 5:14
Language is unique to Humans. Specialists agree that “the human brain is genetically programmed for language development,”13 and that speech “can be explained only on the basis of an innate language-processing capacity within our brain.
The Human Brain can contemplate the plants and animals, aware of time and eternity.
One Bible writer, David wrote, “I shall laud you because in a fear-inspiring way I am wonderfully made." Psalm 139:14-16.
The existence of man with his amazing brain truly is a miracle, a cause for wonderment?
