No, a quadrillion transistors is not approximately the same as the number of neurons in the human brain, because the neurons can make multiple connections to other neurons. Also, it is more than just a "number of bits" in the brain - it is chemistry, meaning that it is more analog than digital - and it is (in some schools of thought) spiritual and/or quantum or sub atomic.

Does number of neurons remain constant?

No. In fact they reduce in number during life.


What The two types of cells of the nervous system are?

Neurons or the nerve cells are the basic unit of nervous system. Based on their function (as in whether they transmit impulse from the CNS or to the CNS) neurons are classified as sensory neurons (carry impulses to the CNS), motor neurons (carry impulses from the CNS to the target organ) and mixed neurons which perform both the functions. The neurons can also be classified based on the number of associated axons or even presence or absences of axons.


Do you have an unlimited number of neural pathways?

The number is very high, but not infinite. There are around 5*10^12 connections in the average brain. (100 million neurons each electricly and chemicly connected to 50 000 other neurons)


What ability do neurons have that other cells don't?

Cells other than neurons undergo apoptosis and if neurons die they don't regenerate hencw their number reduces and even their injuries are difficult to treat and it can cause several neurological diseases unlike other cells .


A neuronal circuit that concentrates or directs a large number of incoming impulses to a rather small number of neurons is called?

Converging circuit
