Brain’s structure consists of about 100 billion tiny cells called neurons, sup- ported and nourished by an additional 900 billion glial cells. In order for neurons to communicate with each other, structures called synpases are needed. These synapses connect neurons with neighboring nervous cells and transport the elec- trical impulses and neurotransmitters from one neuron to another.
