The Human Brain
... The human brain is probably the most complicated thing in the universe. It weights about 3lbs and has the texture of toothpaste. It is made up of 50 to 100 billion nerve cells called neurons as well as 500-1000 billion other cells. Neurons have a cell body with lots of branches coming off them calle ...
