What Makes Me

成为一个完整的人类的过程需要很长时间, 而且当我们成年后, 大脑不会停止建立新的联系. 当我们创造新的记忆, 学习新的技能并拥有生活经验时, 大脑会不断动态地重新连接自己, 它永远不会停止. 我们的大脑一直在变化, 因此我们也在变化, 从摇篮到坟墓,总是在进行中.人脑思维始于生命的出生,成为您的身份. 婴儿的神经元或神经细胞几乎与成人的大脑一样多, 但大多数彼此没有联系.随着孩子的大脑开始适应出生于其中的任何环境--文化, 栖息地, 语言学习迅速开始.
The process of becoming who you are begins at birth. The human brain starts life remarkably unfinished, which accounts for the fact that babies are completely dependent on adults, compared to many mammals that can walk, fly and swim soon after they are born. A baby has almost as many neurons or nerve cells as an adult brain but instead of being connected to each other, the great majority are unconnected. Wiring up begins immediately, and rapidly, as the child’s brain starts to adapt to whatever environment – culture, habitat, language – it’s born into. Animals may be able to start life almost ready to go but they have none of the flexibility and adaptability of the human brain. Experts explore memory as an important pillar of self, and reveals that rather than being a faithful record of our past, memory is fallible and often unreliable, making our life of memories more personal mythology than digital recording. They examine the question of how the brain gives rise to our thoughts, emotions, our memories and personality. Philosophers and great thinkers have for millennia pondered the question of how physical stuff can give rise to mental processes. The process of becoming a fully developed human takes a long time, and the brain doesn’t stop forging new connections when we become adults. As we make new memories, learn new skills, and have life experiences the brain is constantly and dynamically rewiring itself. It never stops. Nor do we – the human brain is always changing, and therefore so are we. From cradle to grave, we are works in progress.
