Brain, as one of the most complicated part of the organs in human beings’ body, contains a lot of secrets which make human so special than other species. It also plays an essential role in our daily thought and reaction. If there is something wrong with the brain or people maybe called it as mental illness, they would need some treatment such as taking some drugs.
