The human brain is the third largest organ in the body. It weighs an averageof three pounds and is made up of fat and protein. The brain is the control center for the whole body. It has some 100 billion nerve cells and operates other organs, creates thoughts and emotions, controls movement, and gets and keeps information all at the same time. It is what makes us different from other animals. It gives us the means to use language, think rationally, sense the world, and so much more.
The brain is quite flexible and continues to develop even into old age. However, just like the muscles in our bodies, the brain needs care and regularexercise to stay fit. If we don't do this, then our control centers won't be able tomake a decision, keep our fears in check, or remember anything we did.
A good way to keep the brain healthy is to challenge it with clever games and tests, like those found on National Geographic Channel's Brain Games. Each of the 12 episodes reveals more of how the brain works, so don't miss seeing any.
人類的大腦是身體第三大器官。它平均重量是三磅，由脂肪和蛋白質所組成。大腦是全身的控制中心。它有大約一千億的神經細胞、負責運作其他器官、創造思想和情緒、控制動作，並同時獲取和保留資訊。這正是我們人類與其他動物的不同之處。大腦賦予我們能力來使用語言、理性思考、感知世界，並且從事其他許許多多的事。
大腦十分柔韌並且終其一生都會持續發展。然而，就像身上的肌肉一般，大腦也需要照護和定期活動來維持健康。如果我們沒有這麼做，我們的控制中心將無法做決定、抑制恐懼，或是記得曾經做過的任何事。
要讓大腦維持健康的一個好途徑就是以益智遊戲或測驗來挑戰腦力，就像國家地理頻道中《大腦遊戲》所做過的那些遊戲和測驗一樣。《大腦遊戲》系列共有十二集，每一集都將揭曉大腦是如何運作的，所以不要錯過任何一集喔。
