Ongoing brain activity

Hey kiddo! Have you ever heard of the brain? It's the part of our body that helps us think, feel and do things. Even when we're not doing anything, our brain is still active! Kind of like a car engine that is running even when the car is parked.

Now, imagine your brain is like a busy city with lots of different parts that are always moving and working. These parts communicate with each other using special chemicals called neurotransmitters. They send messages back and forth, controlling everything from your heartbeat to your thoughts and actions.

Even when you're not doing anything, there's still lots of activity in your brain. This is called ongoing brain activity. It's kind of like the background noise you hear in a movie theater when the movie is over. It's not as loud or intense as it was during the movie, but it's still there.

Scientists have studied ongoing brain activity and found that it's really important for our health and wellbeing. It helps us process information, make decisions, and remember things. It also helps us stay focused and alert, and helps us relax and recharge.

So kiddo, even when you're sitting still and not doing anything, your brain is still working hard to help you be the best you can be!
