Your brain is also in charge of your emotions, both pleasurable and painful, and it governs your behaviours. 3 using your brain, you make all of your decisions, both large and small. It is responsible for all of your thought patterns. Like your other organs, your brain is permeated 4 circulating blood and bathed in chemicals. It uses energy – lots of it. It can get sick.
