NEURONS… the FUNDAMENTAL UNITS of the brain and nervous system.
At the time of birth, you may have more than 100 BILLION!
THAT configure THEMSELVES…
… to make each of you UNIQUE in HOW… you THINK, FEEL, and ACT.
Neurons get ‘LIVEWIRED’…
…as neuroscientist DAVID EAGLEMAN calls it.
From the ACTUAL ACT of making mistakes…
…and from a constant loop of TRY, FAIL LEARN…
…you CREATE new NEURAL PATTERNS.
EVEN right now, YOUR BRAIN… is CALIBRATING…
… and DYNAMICALLY, re-configuring itself….
…creating PHYSICAL changes…
… IN YOUR BRAIN.
NEURONS… and their connections, are the BUILDING BLOCKS of COGNITION.
NEURONS have input, DENDRITES…
…and output, AXON TERMINAL.
Neurons use ELECTRICAL SIGNALS internally…
… and releases CHEMICAL TRANSMITTERS….
…to bridge the gap to other NEURONS…
…to COMMUNICATE.
Tearing down OLD, and building NEW… NEURAL PATTERNS.
PREDICTING.
LEARNING.
Chemical transmitters… or NEUROTRANSMITTER…
… facilitates communication in between the NEURONS…
… called SYNAPSES.
NEUROTRANSMITTERS, like DOPAMINE…
…are the MESSENGERS.
