However, the absolute contribution of each area to behavior is yet to be properly defined. It is mostly known that the brain is organized into functional areas that are integrated into networks. It’s organized at many physical scales starting at the level of single neurons and expanding up to functional systems.Ĭurrent functional imaging studies classify brain structure to three levels. The cerebral cortex is what sets apart human brains from other organisms. It is believed that the brain can remember everything from birth through to death. For example, electrical impulses can trigger memories that the subject assumed to be long forgotten. As a data-storage system, the long-term hard drive of the brain may be infinite. On top of all this, it stores some of the information it transmits as memories. That equates to between 18 and 640 trillion signals that your brain sends and receives every second. Each synapse can convey a signal at 0.1–2 times per second. Those neurons send signals across 18-32 trillion tiny spaces called synapses. Human brain structure is a hierarchy made up of about 85 billion neurons. In this article, we’ll explore these different areas of the brain and their function. These are known as the functional areas of the brain. Neuroscientists have attempted to break down the different brain parts to explain its structure. Your brain is so powerful and so diverse, it’s a big task to name all its different functions. However, research is revealing that it is far more complex than just a switchboard between your ears. The classical idea of the human brain is the command center of your nervous system.
