But the somatosensory system does much more than just respond to pressure on the skin: there are many different kinds of receptors. Some respond to pressure, others to vibrations, some are specialized to recognize fine structures and textures of objects, and others respond to warmth or generate pain signals.

The human brain is the most complex and powerful o

The human brain is the most complex and powerful organ in the human body. It is made up of around 86 billion nerve cells (neurons), and trillions of supportive cells called glia. The brain controls every aspect of our daily lives, from movement and sensation to thought, emotion, and behavior. It enables us to see, hear, touch, taste, and smell, and to learn, remember, and communicate. It also plays a key role in our ability to think, imagine, and create.
One fascinating fact about the brain is that it is the only organ in the body that continues to develop and change throughout our lives. This process, known as neuroplasticity, allows the brain to adapt and reorganize itself in response to new experiences, learning, and changes in the environment. This means that we have the ability to improve our cognitive abilities and enhance our brain health through activities like learning new skills, exercising, and challenging our minds. Another interesting fact about the brain is that it is incredibly efficient. Despite being only about 2% of our body weight, the brain uses about 20% of the oxygen we consume.

The oldest fossilized brain was preserved in a roc

The oldest fossilized brain was preserved in a rock found in China. It is belonging to Cardiodictyon catenulum, a wormlike animal with a nervous system including the brain. The fossil is on estimation about 525-million years old. Ongoing studies are aimed to unravel primitive brain development. For instance the gene expression pattern was compared to other fossils and currently living species. The researchers found a common signature of all brains and how they are formed.

#ThrowBackThursday to the Brein in Beeld Anatomy and Histology workshop at the 2020 Dutch Brain Olympiad. In this workshop our participants learned what our brains look like on the inside! 🔬🧠 After that they answered questions about what they had just learned in the second round of our Brain Bee.

Do you want to participate in a workshop like this one next year? Register now via our website!
