The human brain is a topic that has intrigued creators throughout history. They imagine creative scenarios involving the keeping, transplanting, and removal of this organ. The reason that creators find it fascinating is its association with our thoughts.
 
Our brain is the center of our nervous system. As such, it controls most of the functions in our body. However, some functions, like the heart pumping blood, happens independently of the brain. 
 
Brains are susceptible to damage, disease, and infection. It is vulnerable to degenerative disorders like Parkinson's disease, dementia, and multiple sclerosis. It is also susceptible to psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia and depression. Many of the conditions that affect our brains are hereditary. What this means is, we are genetically predisposed to them. Knowing your medical history is a great way to protect this central organ. Doctors use medical imaging, like EEGs, to scan the brain and make accurate diagnoses. Doctors treat some of its conditions can with therapy, instead of medication.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis.
