Encephalon

 


Oh my, do we know what and why? Let's try!

Just as the 15th letter of the Greek alphabet is named Omicron,

a prerequisite is also called sine qua non,

A list of proper nouns is known as an onomasticon; the real name of our brain is referred to as the Encephalon.

Water pills are naqua;
Encephalon is composed of 75% aqua.

A chemical reaction causes a headache with a sensational strife;

the encephalon triples in size within the first three years of life.

A flower shape is represented as fleurons;
Encephalon contains roughly 100 billion neurons.

Misrepresentations that endure:knowledge of art and its truth you shall procure,

with no pain, only gain,

It is a myth that humans use only 10% of their brain.

A fundamental accessory; cholesterol is vital for learning and memory.

Poetic neurology found within the chapters,

your dreams are believed to be a mix of physiological and neurological factors.

Those are two factors of information; let us not forget to include the third, which is our immaculate imagination.

The mathematical language reckons: short-term memory lasts only around 20-30 seconds.

A quick change in blood vessel size causes pain and a wriggle;

an ice cream headache brings a squiggle and a giggle,

Neuro hymns to a hymnal-
A brain freeze it is, and it's an incredible 'warning' signal.

Encephalon, with no pain, turns to an iron soldier,

fast-forward, and the human brain shrinks as we get older.

The natural decorator,
Encephalon is a random thought generator.

With 20% of the oxygen and blood acting as an accelerator,

brain activity can power up a light bulb, turning it into the best emulator.

Almost done...

Sleep stands as a liberator;
multitasking is impossible; it is a calculated integrator.

The adult brain, weighing 3 pounds, found throughout the equator,

the subconscious mind acts as our daily dictator.

Ten events in a decathlon,
one billionth of a meter is a millimicron;

the charter of a phenomenon, a discovery of a mastodon-

knowledge increased! The real name of our brain is called the mighty "Encephalon".

The end.
