rson were hurt, he would lose the power of doing certain things. And so people thought that each part of the brain does a different job.

In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Scientists have found out the way the brain works is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists fell us that about 100 000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happens to us. We, may not be able to think of the things we have heard and seen, but it is kept there in the storehouse (宝库 ) of the human brain. Earlier scientists thought that is not true.
