Brain's Anatomy and Physiology in Brief

Brain controls all of the body functions. Brain is a central command in whole organs and body parts. If our body is healthy, so the body and mental will be healthy too. Otherwise, if the brain is damage or its functions are not work well, it will make our body and mental disturbed.
