BRAIN vs MIND

What is the Brain

The Brain is the organ located inside our skull that regulates all physical functions of the human body. It is a vital part of our Central Nervous System (CNS) that serves as the hub for gathering, organizing, and disseminating information throughout the body. Our body's organs are under its control.

The Brain is the most intricate organ in the body and has about 86 billion active neurons, which interact with each other to create circuits

and exchange information.

What is the Mind

The Mind is a concept that has been debated and explored by scholars, scientists, and theologians for centuries. The agreed-upon definition of the mind is that it is the complex network of thought processes and consciousness that arises from the neurological activity of the brain.

We can divide our mind into three layers: Conscious, Unconscious, and Subconscious.

Conscious Layer consists of our immediate thoughts, feelings, and memories
Unconscious Layer is composed of basic and primordial impulses
Subconscious Layer contains the memories and behaviors that we have acquired over time.

The exploration of the mind has been an ongoing process and has yielded many insights into how our mental processes influence our behavior.

Brain vs Mind: What is the difference?

The Mind refers to our ability to think, feel, and engage in physical activity.

The Brain refers to the physical organ in our head that supports these functions.

Here are three key differences between the two:

The Brain is composed of neurons and blood vessels; on the other hand, the mind is abstract and is not made up of any neurons or blood vessels.
While the Brain controls a person's movements, emotions, and various bodily functions; the Mind alludes to a person's morality, reasoning, and understanding.
The Brain is a physical organ; it can be touched or seen; however, the Mind is intangible; it can neither be touched nor seen.

There are many debates about the differences between the Brain and the Mind. However, one thing is for sure: mind skills can be trained, while brain function cannot be changed. Mind skills such as decision-making, problem-solving, creativity, and communication can all be trained over time to increase the effectiveness of a person's mental processes.

To sum up, the Brain and Mind are two very distinct concepts; the Brain is a physical organ, while the Mind is an intangible concept. While both are essential to a person's functioning, the Brain is responsible for physical functions, while the Mind is responsible for abstract thought and emotion and is not bound by the same physical laws as the brain.

The Brain and the Mind are two separate entities, the physical organ, the Brain is in control.

Improve Your Brain - Enrich Your Health

BrainHealth Neurocade Blood Testing

Alzheimer's Disease and Neurodegenerative Diseases Biomarker Testing

BrainHealth analyzes the Hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease through a simple blood test, Neurocode p-Tau 217.

Neurocode p-Tau 217 is a biomarker for Alzheimer-related processes.

The p-Tau 217 test is sensitive enough to detect biomarkers at the earliest stages of cognitive decline, or pre-symptomatic. No other blood test can do this. Used alone, it is 95% accurate in predicting amyloid pathology.

BrainHealth also offers two addition Biomarker tests

Neurofilament Light (NF-L) for neuronal damage. It can tell you if there is a problem with your neurons from causes like vascular disease, head trauma, or any neurodegenerative process.

Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP). GFAP is a biomarker for inflammation and repair in the brain.

These are the 3 best biomarkers to track because they are complementary and, taken together, give you a snapshot of your current Brain Health.

After BrainHealth you will know if you have abnormal levels of amyloid, neuronal damage, and/or ongoing inflammation.

Whether you are concerned about your Brain Health or merely curious about your status, you can assess your present situation so you can take action to live without fear of cognitive decline.
