What type of brain cell forms the basis fo all thought and behavior?
Neurons are the brain cells that form the basis for all thought and behavior. They communicate through electrical and chemical signals, enabling the transmission of information throughout the brain and allowing for complex cognitive functions and behavior.
What kind of neuron fires when you observe someone elses behavior?
Mirror neurons are a type of neuron that fires both when an individual performs an action and when they observe someone else perform the same action. These neurons are thought to play a role in understanding and mimicking the actions and intentions of others, contributing to empathy and social cognition.
How is a thought formed in the brain?
A thought is formed when two or more brain cells (Neurons) connect
A behavior becomes a habit when it has been repeated?
frequently over time, leading to automatic responses without much conscious thought. Habits are formed through a process in the brain that strengthens connections between neurons, making the behavior more likely to be repeated in the future.
What do the pathways in the brain do?
They allow neurons to communicate with each other
What happens at the synapic clept?
Chemical synapses are specialized junctions through which neurons signal to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. Chemical synapses allow neurons to form circuits within the central nervous system. They are crucial to the biological computations that underlie perception and thought. They allow the nervous system to connect to and control other systems of the body. -Wiki

What do the lower neurons do?
You are probably speaking of "lower motor neurons." These are neurons that send information from the spinal cord to the muscles of the body & they travel within all most of the nerves of the body (like sciatic, median, etc). These neurons are controlled by "upper motor neurons" and control your muscles to allow you to be able to move.
Creases and folds allow more neurons to occupy a limited amount of space?
True
Which bulb-shaped structures found at the end of neurons form connections with the dendrites and somas of other neurons and allow information to pass from neuron to neuron?
Axon Terminals
Is thought faster than light?
No. Thought consists of an electrical impulse travelling through the neurons, and occurs much slower than light.
7 What are the evolutionary advantages achieved by the myelination of neurons?
Attack and escape. Myelinated neurons allow faster reflexes increasing chance of survival, which allows you to pass your genes on to your offspring.
