      Good question. Everyone has a different brain. We all have very similar parts and similar actions it does and activity, but everyone has a different way of thinking and working things out. That is cool isn’t it!? If I asked what is 2 x 12? You could tell me that it is 24. How did you work it out though? Was it the same way as me!? Maybe, or maybe it was different!!!!

      The basic functions of the brain are the same… the neurons work in the same way and the the different areas of the brain to the same thing.

      But the way it all connects up is completely unique for each person, because of genetics, environment, and some randomness in the way the nervous system develops.
