Nature understands our brain, just as much as our brain understands nature. During the course of evolution, our brain has ‘metamorphosed’ with a far-from Kafkaesque, yet composite, intent—for far superior purposes, including a state of higher conscious awareness—which is just the opposite of what civilisation has embarked upon. A voyage to wreck nature.
Our brain is unique—it not only exerts greater and sublime control over biological functions, viz., eating, sleeping and procreation, it has the added advantage, besides skill, to communicate and express emotions. It is also endowed with a host of other attributes, such as the power of cognition, reasoning, judgment, problem-solving, conflict-resolution and creativity, unlike the animal world.
Our cognitive functions are controlled by the prefrontal cortex—the area located behind the forehead. This is what separates us from other forms of life. It is actually our ‘signature tune,’ one that determines our race, even our destiny. Put simply, the whole idea connotes that the brain has never been static, or constant. It has undergone changes, in the long-term, while going through interim alterations, or refinement, during one’s lifetime.
