Our Amazing Human Body: Our Smart Brain et al.

The human body it's a very interesting concept for scientists, there are many things that we don't know about it. One of the most studied systems of the body it's the Limbic System and it's directly related to the brain.

The limbic system is a set of brain structures located in the brain. The function of this system consist of the physiological response to specific stimulus. It's in charge of emotions, behavior, motivation, long-term memory, the sense of smell and instinct . The emotional life resides in the limbic system, and it has a great deal to do with the formation of memories.

This system is located in the brain, on both sides of the thalamus, immediately beneath the cerebrum. It isn't very big, obviously smaller than the brain itself, it's a small part of it, but like i said before, it's very important physiologically speaking.

The lymbic sistem may present alterations like any other system. Some illness associated to it are: schizophrenia, limbic epilepsy, autism and dementia. This illness affects different parts of this system, causing certain effects and atypical behaviors.

It's a very hard job to keep the limbic system healthy, because there are so many things that may affect it and we don't know about it. But in the other side, there are a some things that we can do to keep it healthy like: do exercise, eat healthy food; but mainly do things we like and enjoy to stay away from stress and depression, and make grow up our mind.

The Best Concert Ever

My favourite thing in life is music. It makes you feel a lot of different emotions, depending on your mood.
One of my favourites bands is Muse, considered one of the best bands of alternative rock, because of their original style and their contribution in this musical genre.  they came to Chile in 2015, it was one of the most exciting days ever, they player in Movistar Arena. I clearly remember an amazing experience.

That day I woke up early I remember, to be one of the first people to enter to the show, When I got there, I met up with five friends of school, Muse was our favourite band so we wanted to be in first place. We have to wait a lot of time to see them play, we arrived there at 7 a.m. and the show was programmed to 8 p.m., so we bring some playing cards and food to survive that loooong hours.

Muse has been awarded for being the band with the best musical performance on stage, so we actually had a lot of expectations.

The show was amazing, it was more than our expectations, the show lasted 3 hours approx. and we didn't realize. They played their best songs with an amazing performance, they inflated giant black balloons! And they were bouncing in people's head and hands, and when the balloons exploded, they released a kind of serpentine with beautiful colours.The people there were completely crazy! all of them enjoying their songs, some of they were crying, others were screaming, etc. And for the show's end, nothing less than a "mosh pit".
It was definitively the best show I've ever assisted, the sound was great, the people I met there were amazing too, and all that things I mentioned before. I wasn't expecting anything less. Just amazing!
