Deepika Shakya

The human brain possesses a remarkable ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life.

Neuroplasticity

High energy demand underscores the importance of proper nutrition and oxygen supply for optimal brain function.

Energy Consumption

The human brain is one of the most complex structures known to science, consisting of approximately 86 billion neurons (nerve cells) interconnected

Complexity

The brain is divided into two hemispheres, each with distinct functions. While the left hemisphere is typically associated with logical reasoning, the right hemisphere is often linked to creativity 

Brain Hemisphere Dominance

 The brain plays a crucial role in regulating emotions through complex neural circuits

Emotional Regulation

Sleep plays a vital role in consolidating memories and facilitating learning. During sleep, the brain undergoes various stages, including rapid eye movement

Sleep and Memory Consolidation

While neuroplasticity is most pronounced during childhood and adolescence, the brain retains its ability to adapt and change throughout life.

Brain Plasticity Across Lifespan

The human brain is a highly complex and adaptable organ, responsible for a wide range of cognitive functions, emotional regulation, and physiological processes.
