The Brain Is the Boss
How do you remember the way to your friend's house? Why do your eyes blink without you ever thinking about it? Where do dreams come from? Your brain is in charge of these things and a whole lot more. In fact, your brain is the boss of your body. It runs the show by controlling just about everything you do.
It's faster and more powerful than any computer you've ever used. It's large and in charge - so large that it fills the upper half of your head.
It looks like a soft, wrinkly, gray sponge, and it's almost as heavy as a carton of orange juice! By the time you're grown up, it will weigh about 3 pounds (1.4 kilograms).
