“Nothing seems more evident to me than that the powers of the mind are the varied actions of the brain”
— Thomas Reid

Simplified Meaning:
Our thoughts and abilities to think come from the brain. When we imagine, remember, or solve problems, it's all the brain at work. Think of the brain like a computer that runs everything we do. For example, when you solve a math problem, your brain is processing the steps, just like a computer runs a program. Similarly, when you remember your first bike ride, it's your brain pulling up that 'file' from its 'memory storage.' Just like a computer has different parts to handle different tasks, our brain has sections for different types of thinking and actions. This means that by taking care of our brain through a good diet, exercise, and learning, we can keep our thinking sharp and our mind strong.
