Mind...What is the mind? What does it do? Where is it?What do you know about the mind?

Answer 1

"Mind" is simply the abstract concept that encompasses the various higher functions of the brain. There is still much debate over which aspects are covered, for it is the mind that makes us truly human. Mind doesn't describe the basic stuff like control functions of the lower parts of the brain (i.e., things that go on at a physiological level to keep us alive), but the "higher", cognitive functions. (For example, thought, emotion, perception.) The ancient Egyptians thought it was the HEART that was the most important organ; it was Hippocrates (of ancient Greece) who first proposed that the seat of emotions and intelligence (also aspects of the mind) was the brain. I--as a former student of psychology, sociology, and with a very wide medical background both as student and patient--could not begin to put down all I know about the mind into a single response to a question. Let's just say the mind is a fantastic byproduct of being sentinent--aware of our existence. Descartes put it best when he said, "Cogito ergo sum"--I think, therefore, I am.

Answer 3

Just like the physical Body, MIND is a SUBLTE body.
it is immensely vital and important to the healthy existance of a humanbeing.
it is located in the cerebral region of human anatomy.
the study and observation of mind is fascinatingly interesting and enriching.
those who have professed in the study of human mind are termed as Pschiatrists, psychologists and those who practice a profession based on such studies are termed as Psycho-therapuists.
I enjoy watching and witnessing the Mischivousness and also at times innovative ways of my mind.
There are three states of the Mind viz.
1. Waking state
2. Dream state
3. Sleep state.

there are 3 ego states of the mind & they are:
1. Conscious
2. Sub-Conscious
3. Unconscious

Answer 4

Mind is the sum total of your feelings and emotions. It reacts as per the action. It is all pervading in your body. This is all I know about the moind

Answer 5

Body and mind

Information, in the form of nerve impulses, travels to and from your brain along your spinal cord. This allows your brain to monitor and regulate unconscious body processes, such as digestion and breathing and to coordinate most voluntary movements of your body. It is also the site of your consciousness, allowing you to think, learn and create.

Your brain is made of many parts, each of which has a specific function. It can be divided into four areas: the cerebrum, the diencephalon, the brain stem and the cerebellum.

Cerebrum

The cerebrum is the largest part of your brain. It sits on top of the rest of your brain, rather like a mushroom cap covering its stalk. It has a heavily folded grey surface, the pattern of which is different from one person to the next. Some of the grooves in its surface mark out different functional regions.

The front section of your cerebrum, the frontal lobe, is involved in speech, thought, emotion, and skilled movements. Behind this is the parietal lobe which perceives and interprets sensations like touch, temperature and pain. Behind this, at the centre back of your cerebrum, is a region called the occipital lobe which detects and interprets visual images. Either side of the cerebrum are the temporal lobes which are involved in hearing and storing memory.

The cerebrum is split down the middle into two halves called hemispheres that communicate with each other.

Cerebellum

Your cerebellum is the second largest part of your brain. It sits underneath the back of your cerebrum and is shown in brown in the diagram above. It is involved in coordinating your muscles to allow precise movements and control of balance and posture.

Diencephalon

Your diencephalon sits beneath the middle of your cerebrum and on top of your brain stem. It contains two important structures called the thalamus and the hypothalamus. Your thalamus acts as a relay station for incoming sensory nerve impulses, sending them on to appropriate regions of your brain for processing. It is responsible for letting your brain know what's happening outside of your body.

Your hypothalamus plays a vital role in keeping conditions inside your body constant. It does this by regulating your body temperature, thirst and hunger, amongst other things. And by controlling the release of hormones from the nearby pituitary gland.

Brain stem

Your brain stem is responsible for regulating many life support mechanisms, such as your heart rate, blood pressure, digestion and breathing. It also regulates when you sleep and wake.

Brain protection

Your brain is arguably your most important organ, but it is made of soft delicate tissue that would be injured by even the slightest pressure. As a result, it is well protected:

Three tough membranes called meninges surround your brain
The space between your brain and the meninges is filled with a clear fluid, which cushions your brain, provides it with energy and protects it against infection
Your skull encases your brain in a bony shell, cerebrospinal fluid and meninges

Answer 6

Your left part of your brain controls the right side of your body

and vice versa


And humans use only less than half of their brains

Answer 7

What is the mind?... Our thoughts
What does it do?... Thinking
Where is it?... In my head, in ur head, in evrybody s head
What do you know about the mind?... Nothing

Answer 8

the mind controls your body. it's in your thick skull. you can't live without it.

Answer 9

its obvious that yours is not working that well. since you dont know maybe if you read some books about it and what it does.

Answer 10

It is what made you ask this question.
