Overview

The brain is the most complex part of the human body, and it acts as the body's control center. It controls thoughts, memory, speech and movement. It regulates the function of many organs, such as your heart and lungs. When the brain is healthy, it works quickly and automatically. However, when problems occur, the results can be devastating.
