The most beautiful organ
By widemother on Sep. 5, 2007.
I love brains! They seem like the most beautiful organ in the body. I remember dissecting a preserved sheep’s brain in my Intro to Neurobiology class in college. There were also preserved samples of infamous brains sitting in jars in a glass case outside of the psychology department. They always seemed like fascinating things from an unknown world. I’ve learned more and more about brains since then. There’s always more to learn. The most simple brains I encountered were the bundles of neurons inside the heads of snails that we used to learn how to record neural signals.

Did you ever experience how the amazing brain squirms and twisted when you think about it. It’s really fascinating to have your body parts respond to you, like people, when you say their name or even just think about them.

I’m in love with brains too
They are squishy and complex and never get boring.
