Paragraph 4 starts with 'Therefore', which is a transitional word that shows it is not independent.

Concluding sentence: Why this is the last line? This paragraph is the last sentence because it wraps up the main ideas of the text. It summarizes the importance of understanding the brain and connects back to the overall theme of the text.
