Os maiores inimigos do cérebro

The biggest enemies of the brain

The brain is an organ that most people seem to ignore even though they know that it controls all the activities of the body and is the seat of all intellectual and emotional life.
Like the heart, the brain also deserves to be the target of public prevention campaigns, as it needs to be healthy in order to perform at its best.
Closed inside the skull, the brain hides its secrets and mysteries. In Ancient Egypt it was still considered an organ of no value and was removed from bodies that wanted to be embalmed.
O coração era, então, considerado o centro da vida, dos pensamentos e das emoções. Foi só há muito pouco tempo que se descobriu que o cérebro é, de facto, o nosso órgão fundamental!

Its complex

The brain is a very complex system, consisting of multiple interdependent and interactive networks of various cell types that are responsible for different activities.
The neuron constitutes the fundamental element of the brain and is also the most popular cell. Perhaps we have more than 100 billion who, working structured in very dynamic networks, allow us to see, hear, think, learn, imagine, predict, create, feel emotions… They are not alone. Other very important cells such as neuroglia help neurons to function fully
