Question

If everything in our bodies is being controlled by the brain, so who controls the brain and works by itself?

Answer 1

I would say our environment controls how our brain operates (like how much stress we go through each and every day and what not) and yes I believe that our brain tends to control how our body works (obviously) but in a way our brain has a mind of its own at times I know it does to me since I have real bad anxiety so I know firsthand what the brain can do to your body  

Answer 2

your thalamus.

Answer 3

The brain controls the body and works by itself.  Nothing controls the brain.

Answer 4

Some would say conciousness or the soul, but some may argue that the conciousness is also a result of the brain.  I think that after your conciousness is developed it can effect the brain, but over all I think it operates itself.
