Why the brain is squiggly.     by Jane Brain   of The Daily Brain.


Our brain is squiggly and wrinkly because it's extra big and if it wasn't all bunched up then it would be three times as big, And we'd have to have very big heads.

There are five different parts of the brain.
The biggest is called the Frontal Lobe. 
It coordinates body movements and controls thoughts.
It also helps you speak.

The second biggest part of the brain is called the Temporal Lobe.
It helps you hear and recognize sounds.

The third part  of the brain is the Parietal Lobe.
It does the senses of the the brain such as touch, smell and taste.

The fourth part is called the Occipital Lobe.
It recognizes images and helps you see.

The final part is the Cerebelium and it tells you how to move.
It also remembers hard movements like dancing.

I have also written a poem about the brain.

'Brain O Brain, oh way up there,
Without you I wouldn't be here.
You are so squiggly,
You are so wrinkly.
Brain O Brain way up there.'


Thank you for reading my column!
Be sure to read tomorrows copy of The Daily Brain because it will be about flowers and who doesn't like flowers?

  1. some very interesting facts there about our wonderful brains :) I wonder what we'd look like with heads three times as big? I think we'd have very sore necks...
