What do you want to know about the brain?
... There are small things in your body what are called neurons. They connect when you might do a maths question of anything. If you say “I can’t do it”, your neurons send messages to your brain that you can’t do it and it makes learning much harder. You have about 100 billion neurons in your body ...
