The human brain is truly astonishing structure and is probably most complex thing in the universe. Our brain constitutes 2 percent of our body weight, but inside the brain are approximately 86 billion neurons, surrounded by 180,000 kilometers of insulated fires connected at 100 trillion synapses. It is like vast supercomputer. The neurons communicate using electrical signals. Brain is an amazing structure which creates interest in people of all age groups. It is very interesting that a tiny brain of small animals can perform almost all activities necessary to sustain life. Human brain is about 1200 grams to 1500 grams in weight. But if there is damage to the brain in neurotrauma or in stroke or birth anoxia, even a large part of the remaining brain is unable to help a person to perform all activities.
So, in small creatures like ants a tiny brain is self sufficient but in an adult person with about 1 Kilogram of injured brain becomes severely impaired. Therefore, a large brain of a patient of brain disease cannot perform all functions.
It may be possible that brain of an ant may be like a brain app which may be having a limited but complete set of basic applications necessary for a normal person. It may be possible that a new born ant may be born with this app but a newborn infant of human beings may not be able to take care of themselves due to lack of this app in the brain of human beings.
Speculations of a brain app needs to be explored.
A further research in this area may help a lot of newborns with cerebral palsy or birth anoxia. As these children have almost normal sized brain but are unable to perform even normal daily life activities independently.
Although human brain has infinite potential but takes lot of time to become mature but is also vulnerable to injuries during the process of development. Neuronal Plasticity allows other parts of brain to takeover the function of the injured part, but there is need to identify an app in the brain which may be very small , transplantable or amenable to modifications.
Although, a lot of research has been done in other fields but the clinical applications of such research will benefit millions of patients suffering from stroke, cerebral palsy, birth anoxia, Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.
Technological advancements in artificial intelligenc, robotics, bionics, etc, may be replicated in neurosciences to find solutions to brain deficits.
