Abstract

This website covers the basic details on how the human brain works and how we tend to remember certain concepts. Understanding a dog's brain can be similar but their learning process is different. The brain is the most complex organ in our entire human body and there are many components that contribute to learning and memory. Memory is the faculty of the mind by which data or information is encoded, stored, and retrieved when needed. It is the retention of information over time for the purpose of influencing future action. Recalling the information multiple times is what helps us store the information into the long term memory. Therefore, this article covers on the basics of the human brain and how it works, in addition to, memory and emotions.
