What happens when you read? Your brain organizes your eyes to see, your mind to think and your fingers to turn the pages.

This book is aimed at making the understanding of science easy and fun for children, and answers many questions they may want to know about the brain, for example: what does your brain look like?; what is it made of?; and what does it actually do?

In easily understood language, the functions of the brain are explained from sending and receiving messages to making and storing memories and controlling feelings and emotions.

There is also a chance to join the Mega Memory experiment.

The book is part of a series intended to help children understand a range of areas of science and technology whilst making learning fun and interesting.
