What do we think about our human brain? Is it really our brain that is at work?

Our brain is housed inside our skull. Inside the brain's skull is what layperson commonly refer  to as the gray areas. There are sulcis and gyri, too. Neurons, axons, myelin sheaths, and the like. For the brain's transmission of data, we have the neurotransmitters. Then, depending on which lobes of the brain the data go, the information is processed accordingly as images, colors, numbers, and so on. So, what do we think about our human brain?

Brain scientists and technologists are doing everything to understand, not just the human brain, but all of the human nervous systems, the extensions, and related physiological parts. Having said that, there are still a lot of things we would like our queries to be altogether answered. However, it is never an easy task to see these things from an outsider's view concerning our inner being, even when we use other people as subjects of research.

The human consciousness, for instance, is less known as to why it exists (if ever it indeed exists). We wake up and then become aware of our self and our surroundings. On the other hand, when we are asleep and dreaming, we are still conscious; that is, we are aware that we are dreaming. The question is: are we really aware that it is a dream or not? Sometimes, we do are aware that it is just a dream and sometimes, we do not know ourselves that we are inside our dream. We simply dream, adrift until we become awake again. When indeed we wake up again, we may never know if it is no longer a dream. Are all dreaming then or we had never ever dream. Dream or not a dream, is it all merely a part of what we call human reality?

Furthermore, from a variety of human feats that a person exhibits, there are individuals with innately superhuman abilities. Using their brains to do superb things, such as a young boy who knows complex facts, languages, and creative ideas, an ordinary, average, typical person can have a hard time processing and synthesizing the same information longer. The first individual requires less effort, whereas the second person does not only have to exert more effort, but also longer time and even additional resources. Hence, the way the brain works is indeed a mystery even for the geniuses.

We all have our brain. As unique as a human person, so is each human brain. Sizes, compositions, neural firings, and the like make each person's brain of a different gradient. It is the height of human achievement in the event scientists and technologists would find a way to unearth how the brain works and its mysteries. In case researchers would find a way to re-invent and re-engineer how the brain is all there is to understand why and how we understand things at their best, that is something we can relate with to the smallest and biggest parts of us being truly human - and maybe, more than that.
