Brain
The brain is an organ that serves as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrates and most invertebrate animals. It is the most complex organ of the vertebrate body that sits in the head. The brain exerts centralized control over other parts of the body. It controls thought, memory, feeling, touch, sight, breathing, temperature, appetite, and every process that regulates our body.

The brain’s secret to lifelong learning can now come as hardware for AI
When the human brain learns something new, it adapts. But when artificial intelligence learns something new, it tends to forget information it already learned.
