OpenStudy (geometry_hater):

Well i don't fully understand it either but i think it has something to do with Neuron's which is inside your brain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Brain cells (and other nerve cells in our bodies) create electrochemical impulses by manipulating Sodium and Potassium ions. Cell membranes have special channels than can allow those ions to pass in or out, thus creating voltage that can run across the whole nerve cell and be passed to the next cell.

OpenStudy (blues):

... And at the tissue level, the networks of impulse conducting nerve cells which are responsible for various functions are clustered in ganglia in various, very specific parts of the brain. Most of the actual higher thought - like consciousness and your reading these letters and turning them into words and associating those words with meaning - is done in the so called grey matter, a layer of cells which covers the top and outside of the brain. The lower level cognitive stuff is done the cerebral "white matter" and the very low level stuff - like subconscious control of other bodily functions like breathing - is done by the brain stem and cerebellum in the back and base of your head. It's why chickens with their heads cut off - but not their brain stems - can go on living.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When the you detect the stimulus the sensory neurones will send nerve impulses to the brain and the spinal cord which will send these impulses to the motor neurones and respond to the stimulus.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its basically complex Neurons acts as conducting wire for both input devices and output devices Many functions are carried out by specific center in brain. Memory is complex. its considered as a path followed by signal.When you try to remember anything that path will be folled again.

All I know is that you cannot get blood into your brain, or something bad will happen.
