What is the structure of our brain?

The brain is made up of two halves. Different areas of the brain have different functions. All nerve cells in the brain, about 100 billion of them, are connected to one another and transmit information. This network of the nerve cells is expanded through learning and training. Our brain controls our actions, regulates our sleep, and allows us to feel sensations like pain and joy. If it is damaged, maybe due to a stroke, one has to relearn a lot of things like speaking, walking, or eating.
