PPT-The Brain Day 4 How many neurons?

About 100 billion multipolar neurons Innumberable nerve fibers Allow the neurons to communicate with one another and to other parts of nervous system Three Major Parts Cerebrum Largest contains nerve centers associated with sensory and motor functions provides higher mental functions including memory and reasoning. Introduction!. This presentation will tell you all about the brain and fascinatingly fun facts that will blow your mind. .. . . NEURONS. . . MEMORY. . . PARTS OF BRAIN. Have you ever wondered why people say “Practice makes perfect?” . Your brain has 3 different parts , there is a small brain called the reptillian brain a medium brain called your limbic brain and you have a big brain called your neo cortex. Your reptillian brain tells you when you need food, water and sleep. Your limbic brain controls your feelings and emotions. For your brain to work best you need to feel safe and happy..

Synapses rarely involve just 2 neurons. neurotransmitters (chemicals) are released into the synapse by axon terminal of the pre-synaptic neuron. neurotransmitters stimulate the dendrites on post-synaptic neurons or receptors on effectors.
