ABSTRACT

Introduction: We are living in times of fast formulas, decalogues, breviers, codes and guides. More and more documents are created intending to present convenient formats for the reader or user that, following marketing strategies, allow to have access to summarized contents of a specific subject. These attempts are meant to provide a concentrated theory that has an immediate impact on daily life. In this context, the brain has been no exception. Development: This document for brain users is a methodological guide, supported with scientific facts where the evolutionary relevance of neurological development and its functional segments are described in a concrete manner. Science, narrative prose, and emotions of daily life come together to reach the common reader as well as the scientist, not necessarily going to the cortical region of critical analysis, but to all the viable and sensitive connections of their brain. Conclusion: This strategy is a useful guideline, to enhance our knowledge in the brain function and their daily life applications.
