      yes, of course! Our brain is a living part of our body. A living computer!

      Our brain cells carry electrical signals, like a computer. But our brain cells can also make new connections with each other, and that’s how we learn and remember.

      Yes, our brains are alive — otherwise we’d be unable to communicate.

      MY brain is very much alive now, especially answering all these questions. You have lots of cells in your brain which are all alive and work together to make you you.

      yes, they are very alive:) Sometimes I work too hard on something and I say “My brain is dead” but that’s just a joke. Our brains are generally alive as long as we are alive. 🙂

      Our brains are most definitely alive!!

      Our brains needs to be alive so that we can breathe on our own, talk on our own and be who we are! Our brains control who we are and make our decisions for us. Like a big super computer, all the electrical signals in it come together to make us who we are! Like when we turn on our computer from standby mode, it is like us waking up! Activity is always going on in the brain and it will always be alive (unless something bad happens), sometimes it just needs a rest and the activity is less, like when sleeping. Things are always going on though and your brain is always making memories and forming new connections.
