Each of these blobs that you see, or voxels, as they're called, can contain millions and millions of neurons.
For neuroscience, microscopes are actually how neurons were discovered in the first place, about 130 years ago.
And despite the distant relation, convergent evolution has made it remarkably similar to the human brain, with as many neurons and synapses and a highly developed hippocampus and cerebral cortex.
Sensory data is initially transcribed and temporarily recorded in the neurons as short-term memory.
From there, it travels to the hippocampus, which strengthens and enhances the neurons in that cortical area.
Thanks to the phenomenon of neuroplasticity, new synaptic buds are formed, allowing new connections between neurons, and strengthening the neural network where the information will be returned as long-term memory.
Healthy brains maintain strong connections between neurons thanks to the brain's continuous efforts to prune itself and remove unused or faulty neural connections.
That means their neurons go haywire and create a network that's impossible to navigate.
Here's a picture of two neurons connecting.
During the business of communicating information, in addition to releasing neurotransmitters like glutamate into the synapse, neurons also release a small peptide called amyloid beta.
A crucial neural transport protein called "tau" becomes hyperphosphorylated and twists itself into something called "tangles," which choke off the neurons from the inside.
The neurons will have become more excitable, your frontal cortex would have atrophied, all relevant to what happens in that one second.
Neurons grow new processes.
Same neurons, same neurochemicals, same biology.
What it means is that your brain neurons react in the same way, whether or not you are the one doing the action.
Even the simplest animal we think of, something like an insect, and they have more neurons and connections than you can imagine.
As a thought takes form, like a math calculation or a number, a word, neurons are interacting in the brain, creating a miniscule electrical discharge.
When you have a dominant mental state, like relaxation, hundreds and thousands of neurons are firing in the brain, creating concurrent electrical discharges in characteristic patterns that can be measured with electroencephalography, or EEG.
Somehow, within each of our brains, the combined activity of many billions of neurons, each one a tiny biological machine, is generating a conscious experience.
So the mirror neurons never fire, the oxytocin never goes through your body, you never have that experience of bonding with the other human being.
This causes huge numbers of neurons to fire in unison: a brief, controlled seizure.
Neurons in the brain communicate via electrical signals, which influence our brain chemistry, contributing to mood and behavior.
For example, ECT triggers the release of certain neurotransmitters, molecules that help carry signals between neurons and influence mental health.
We're going to do an experiment on electrophysiology, which is the recording of the body's electrical signal, either coming from neurons or from muscles.
And this is coming from neurons in my heart that are firing what's called action potentials, potential meaning voltage and action meaning it moves quickly up and down, which causes my heart to fire, which then causes the signal that you see here.
There's no axons, no neurons.
A quadrillion transistors is almost the same as the number of neurons in your brain.
When computers were first introduced, they were said to be a million times faster than neurons.
They are called neurons.
In the computer, you have all the data going through the central processing unit, and any piece of data basically has to go through that bottleneck, whereas in the brain, what you have is these neurons, and the data just really flows through a network of connections among the neurons.
