my brain

(click to enlarge image)
this is an actual picture of my brain. I got these images while doing an fMRI experiment. I was put inside a huge superconducting magnet, and it was able to take these images of my brain while measuring the activity inside. Such an inrticate organ I am amazed by the things the brain can do. Such a powerful tool that controls our mind, mood and behavior.

the brain blows my mind,
aborbs knowledge of all kinds,
the frame around our rhymes,
the main organ of mine,
like a bottle of fine wine,
grows in value with time,
creates our feelings and moods,
the source of how we improve
controls our speech and our moves,
reveals the tastes in our food,
packed wit vessels and membranes,
causes some to go insane,
tells us where we are in pain,
provides the memory to play games,
has to sleep just to maintain,
you amaze me my brain.
