Neuroscience - The Human Brain

The human brain weighs a mere three pounds and looks like a gray walnut, yet it is the most complex structre in our world and the body's most vital organ. It encases some 100 billion or more nerve cells, and is capable of sending signals to thousands of other cells at speeds of more than 200 miles an hour. It deines who we are, yet is influenced by what we do. It holds the secrets to conditions that have perplexed mankind for centuries.
