A lot of our work deals with how parts of the brain can be activated to take on different functions. The plasticity and adaptability of brain ensures that it is never too late to learn and re learn, though in some cases more effort is needed. While compiling the materials for the newsletter, we sincerely wanted to bring into limelight, the Brain; the most important organ in an animal’s body. It’s not just because brain is important, rather we felt, we all must know what makes us all behave in different manners at different instants of time. We hope that this issue would help our young readers to widen their knowledge on brain and understand the coordination of various parts of human body with brain .We are optimistic that many young Scientist will emerge from our village and work in the field of brain for the benefit of mankind.
