God has weaved magic by creating animals, and particularly human. From a day a child develops brain in embryo to old age where he assimilates plethora of information in brain it is an interesting, joyous and sometime a pathetic journey.

   When a child is born he develops only two emotions prominently- one of crying and other of smiling. Gradually he begins to imitate, follow the behaviors of mother, father or relatives with whom he remains close. How the brain cells in child gather, store & interpret information by observation & feelings has been the curious case of study of scientific community. They have still not succeeded in unraveling God’s master creation i.e. human brain.

    A child is very much affected by the environment in which he lives. He develops a personality based on the feedback he receives from in & around him. Since he spends most of his childhood time with mother his personality is affected by her personality. When he enters school he interacts with fellow students and develops a group personality which is different from his individual personality. When a child grows up he gets plethora of information and knowledge through print & electronic media. He begins to inseminate the information and get a critical view of the knowledge.  His mind gradually matures and he begins to think critically & independently. A sound healthy body & positive environment also helps in growth of human brain.

     When a child become adult, get married and lead a family life his personality is affected so. He realizes that the effect of his decision making will be on the whole family and thus he becomes more mature and critical. Financial independence also affects his personality. A grown up man exhibits complete different personality from the boy in his childhood days who is more casual & less thinking.

     Man reaches his last phase of life in which he becomes old. His brain cells weaken and gradually he begins to forget the information which he has inherited. His reflexes weaken. He begins to behave like a child.  Sometime he forgets to brush, fail to recognize his relatives etc. Thus a brain completes its cycle of development, maturity and decay.
