Delving inside the mind: Incredible graphics reveal what each section of your BRAIN does - with more than 70,000 thoughts processed every single day

Published in 1909, Korbinian Brodmann's groundbreaking analysis of the brain can still be found in neurology textbooks and on classroom posters to this day. Using a specialized microscope, Brodmann painstakingly analyzed the entire surface of the Cerebral Cortex on cellular structure alone. After a decade of effort, Brodmann produced the most detailed map of the Cerebral Cortex yet produced, assigning each region a different number. Over time these areas have been widely used to link brain regions with specific functions, such as area four: the primary motor cortex. This region of the Cerebral Cortex is believed to control motor movements such as moving the hands and face as well as breathing and voluntary blinking. Brodmann's areas have also been mapped to functions such as processing numbers, planning, and processing emotions. Of course, the complexity doesn't stop there as scientists now believe the Cortex has at least 180 distinct regions important for language, perception, consciousness, and attention.
