01 / Overview
Your brain contains approximately 86 billion neurons, each connected to thousands of others, forming trillions of synaptic connections that define who you are.
02 / Regions
Each region of the brain serves unique functions, from processing sensory input to regulating emotions and making decisions.
The outermost layer responsible for higher-level thinking, language, and consciousness.
The memory center that transforms short-term experiences into long-term knowledge.
The emotional processor that detects threats, creates fear responses, and shapes feelings.
The executive center for decision-making, planning, and impulse control.
03 / Signals
Every thought, memory, and movement begins as an electrical impulse traveling at speeds up to 250 mph through neural pathways.
Electrical impulses that travel along neuron axons
Chemical messengers bridge the gap between neurons
Rhythmic patterns that coordinate brain activity
