The brain is the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals—only a few invertebrates such as sponges, jellyfish, adult sea squirts and starfish do not have one, even if diffuse neural tissue is present. It is located in the head, usually close to the primary sensory organs for such senses as vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell. The brain of a vertebrate is the most complex organ of its body. In a typical human the cerebral cortex (the largest part) is estimated to contain 15–33 billion neurons, each connected by synapses to several thousand other neurons. These neurons communicate with one another by means of long protoplasmic fibers called axons, which carry trains of signal pulses called action potentials to distant parts of the brain or body targeting specific recipient cells.
From an evolutionary-biological point of view, the function of the brain is to exert centralized control over the other organs of the body. The brain acts on the rest of the body either by generating patterns of muscle activity or by driving secretion of chemicals called hormones. This centralized control allows rapid and coordinated responses to changes in the environment. Some basic types of responsiveness such as reflexes can be mediated by the spinal cord or peripheral ganglia, but sophisticated purposeful control of behavior based on complex sensory input requires the information-integrating capabilities of a centralized brain.

Miguel Angelo Laporta Nicolelis, MD, PhD, is a Brazilian physician and scientist, best known for his pioneering work in "reading monkey thought". He and his colleagues implanted electrode arrays into a monkey's brain that were able to detect the monkey's motor intent and thus able to control reaching and grasping movements performed by a robotic arm. This was possible by decoding signals of hundreds of neurons recorded in volitional areas of the cerebral cortex while the monkey played with a hand-held joystick to move a shape in a video game. These signals were sent to the robot arm, which then mimicked the monkey's movements and thus controlled the game. After a while the monkey realised that thinking about moving the shape was enough and it no longer needed to move the joystick. So it let go of the joystick and controlled the game purely through thought. A system in which brain signals directly control an artificial actuator is commonly referred to as brain-machine interface or brain-computer interface.

Plot
On the outskirts of Riverton, "The Safest City in America", a pensive Inspector Gadget sits in his Gadgetmobile, along with his canine companion, Brain. Gadget is back on the job, on stakeout, but he is concerned that everything is too quiet in Riverton. He has a very simple, rational answer to this; " it's always the most quiet just before criminals strike". Evil must be afoot. In a moment of overzealous crime fighting Gadget arrests an elderly women for wreckless driving, but not without incident. In his effort to make the arrest Gadget's many crime fighting "accessories" go wildly astray. It's time to report back to headquarters for a checkup. Baxter, the "Q" of the Police Department, delivers the prognosis - as he is a prototype things are bound to have some glitches. The remedy is close at hand. But, before Baxter can tell of his new "top secret", Gadget is confronted by a furious Chief Quimby. The little old lady arrested earlier for wreckless driving turns out to be Quimby's mother. Gadget is put on notice - any more mistakes and he is on probation. Meanwhile, in the dead of night, and in a raging storm, something happens that will change Gadget's destiny forever - his arch enemy, his nemesis, Claw makes a daring escape from Riverton Prison. Now, evil really is afoot. Chief Quimby offers Inspector Gadget one last chance to redeem himself through the capture, and return to incarceration, of Claw. And so the chase begins.

Evil has found her!!
D.W.: Am I the only one thinking of Santa's best interests here?
Arthur: [after playing Pachabel's Canon on the piano] Ahh, Christmas.
Buster: My mother woke me up at six this morning! She thought it was Christmas!::Arthur: She did?::Buster: Yeah, it's happened every year since my parents got divorced!::Arthur: Weird.
Arthur: Wow, it *has* been a perfect Christmas!
D.W.: [Trying to show her dad that Santa's in their bathroom; she knocks on the door, but gets no answer] I think Santa's a little hard of hearing.
Mom: Now, D.W., you know that Santa can't always get *exactly* the thing you want.::D.W.: Why? Because I've been bad?::Mom: No, D.W., you haven't been bad it's just that - well, there are a lot of children wishing for the same thing.

Oh I saw you last night, and boys trust she was too fine
She showed me how to act on a new level class as I
Tick tocked time away on her hour glass
Why won't you pick up your phone, I'm freaking out I'm so
Alone just pick up your god damn dog and bone
All the boys and all the girls like to play their stupid
Games which messes with your brain
Oh I saw you last night as you stepped into the
Ring to take our final fight.one hit to the heart
And a drop kick to the head left me feeling pretty
Blue inside my empty bed
And I want to rewind to the start
Where boy meets girl, nobody's hurt I learn your lips with
Every kiss.and I think I made a big mistake, I called you a tart
And you slapped me in the face.and my heart begins to break
Crushing happy memories I thought I had of you and me
And I made another big mistake sorry boy you ain't
Peering through the window
Some one shut the door
The panes are painted black
Gray matter on the floor
Don't dare to break the glass
They'll put a bullet in my head
If I open up the window
They'll slam it down again
Kill thought
They show pictures of the outside
Teach what they think it looks like
Movies made with blue screen
Made to read their doctrine
Build up a facade
Looks like a mirage
Think you know a lot?
What do you think baby
I know I want you
And you know you want me
But can you promise please
You'll say yes to me
I love how you think
You think oh so deep
And share your thoughts with me
I buzz then fall asleep
Do your really even love me
If you do there is no pain
Do I really even love you
Or do I really love your brain
I just love your brains
Girl unlatch your bra
But first unlatch your jaw
It's cool to call me dog
But your head is under my paw
Soon as your lips part
Then your tongue it starts
My pulse just races hard
Enough to pop my heart
I'm so high
Hands up, if you feel like that
Yeah
Huh what
Head
The things you think on me
The games you play on me
And stay the day on me
The words you say on me
When we party hop
Bathroom countertop
Or in your old man's truck
Peering through the window
Some one shut the door
The panes are painted black
Gray matter on the floor
Don't dare to break the glass
They'll put a bullet in my head
If I open up the window
They'll slam it down again
Kill thought
They show pictures of the outside
Teach what they think it looks like
Movies made with blue screen
Made to read their doctrine
Build up a facade
Looks like a mirage
Think you know a lot?
Only what's been taught

Explanation of the funk essential trapped in my brain
Couldn't do it make me wonder how a world maintain
Got emcees frontin total masquerade
Screamin toast had to touch them up with my blade
Cut is caught brothers still fallin to this day
And all is face say why'd have to be this way?
Five 'cent is the culture
Make me pop you like a vulture
Amplify my mic and let the rhyme take the clutcher
The rains of thr rhythms with some boom boom cat
Not enough to break your back, just so you react.
My counteract's my counterpart
Takin your heart
You made a move to pull my plug now that ass got sparked
All I seeing and knowing is my business and I divide to multiply
And give thanks to most high
24/7 brothers got to make a living
Overcome the odds is the only decision
Cast like my pawn with your third eye vision
Slip up in the brain raise a sharp incision
Streets full of clowns trying to rob your part
When the herb come knocking send them home with a not
I got my house pumped
Crunch a problem with my luck
Coming soft to the hole and get your whole game stuffed
As we sway the dance halls from heaven to hell,
As the sun do shine, JBeez rock well.
I got so much funky shit inside my brain,
I couldn't explain, couldn't explain
You wouldn't understand, I couldn't explain
Yo dig it,
I got so much funky shit inside my brain,
I couldn't explain, couldn't explain
You wouldn't understand, I couldn't explain

Cut you short and escort you to my innermost thoughts
Dreams of fighting for my freedom in the most high courts
But jump shots get blocked and dreams get shatterred
and when the day turns night, souls get bruised and batterred.
Cheap labor for a favor from your cotton picking neighbor,
Got to work your ass off just to show you got flavor,
Life savers won't help you when your breaking your back
And Uncle Sam keep talking about rasing his tax
I look at heaven and see myself rolling in seven or eleven
So I can recoup this suit that I'm spending
Pray to god with divine intervention all my life
Repent for my sins because I don't want strife
Release from contracts to make new contacts
The game gets played but still remains the facts
That I got to wake up and see the brood of charades
'Cause I'm still living in the modern age slave trade
Rapping on holy water,
Looking for divine order
Life goes on, but still the rhyme gets shorter
Seal my fate, there's no escape
But still I'm straight,
I'm back on track, shaking off the dead weight
The time has come, for me to free my soul
Grab hold of my heart and take full control
'Cause no matter what happens when times get hard,
I still stand my ground and use the force of God
I got so much funky shit inside my brain,
I couldn't explain, couldn't explain
You wouldn't understand, I couldn't explain
Yo dig it,
I got so much funky shit inside my brain,
I couldn't explain, couldn't explain
You wouldn't understand, I couldn't explain

I'm about to shine like a dime,
It's time to give me mine,
My props, casue I'm about to take you to the top,
Non-stop with the body rock

Brothers buckwilding
And JBeez is always styling
We bring the raw,
The real hardcore,
Giving you more than what you bargained for
Son, so your ass is best to run when
You see me coming
I'm taking it back to the essence,
Soul tracks I'm blessing
Pass the mic over here,
So I can test it,
Check one check two,
We's about to set it,
when the Brothers rock the party, you'll never forget it,
'Cause
I got so much funky shit inside my brain,
I couldn't explain, couldn't explain
You wouldn't understand, I couldn't explain
Yo dig it,
I got so much funky shit inside my brain,
I couldn't explain, couldn't explain
You wouldn't understand, I couldn't explain
I got so much funky shit inside my brain,

[Verse 1]
They said a piece of my ambition's ambitious
Hat back, snap back, Brooklyn 8H:0
Movie role, studio, rubber grip in my cuticles
Coohie yo the stupid ho who fall for cupid doe
I can't fall in love with a bit of shit
Cause if I fall into it, it's being used and then quit
You more on the bitch, I'm on the analog sticks
You can quote me on my sentence nigga, catalog this
Odd Future wolves, ain't some passive artists
A bunch of massive artists, hang up, I had to call this
We mosh through streets like a pack of walrus
So when we come around them niggas had to ball fists
My swagger is natural flavor, then citric acid
Honey ginseng if it's extracted
And honey's with me if she's attractive
Her address, I address, my hoop in her basket
[Hook]
Man, when it came to school, I got bad grades
Now, when it came to the law, I didn't know how to behave
My nigga but with music, music, music
I'm on the honor roll, honor roll, honor roll
With music, music, music
I'm on the honor roll, honor roll, we on a roll
[Verse 2: Domo]
Threw my condolences to bogus shit, cause I'm killing shit off
Survival on the love boat, I'm kicking every bitch off
Phone book flow, this some shit you'll never rip off
Shitting on you niggas, I'm a level past piss off
Risk all to get all, I'm all in
Leaving every bar spin, getting paper, I don't do go cigar, friends
Give me a couple seconds, I'll be leaving with your girlfriend
Gotta get in fresh, got her mouth full, gargling
Spit it out
Dealing with the mary by the big amount flying from a different route
Money 'bout to come so these bitches trying to stick it out
You ain't special though, give me neck and then I kick you out
Domo Genesis, it ain't nothing next to that
Aiming for success and won't fall for nothing less than that
Wolf Gang shit, got all my niggas repping that
If we ain't it yet, somebody show me where the best is at
Check me out
Check it out, yo [unverified]
