It is said that synaptic connections form so quickly in the baby's brain that by the time the baby is three, it will have twice as many synapses as it will need later on How are these extra synapses?
they are eliminated when they are not used
Do brain cells die when you think?
No. Actually, the opposite should happen - by thinking, you strain certain cells, which then react by developing more synapses with other cells. Unused brain cells will degenerate synapses and eventually die.
Where are electrical synapses found?
Synapse is located, where two neurons meet each other. One cubic cm of brain cortex have about one billion synapses, probably.
Which of the following is a primary function of brain development in the first year of life?
The formation of synapses.
What nerves in your body to your brain?
All nerves in the body are connected by synapses to the ganglia in the spinal cord to where the travel back up to the brain
When does a human brain work best?
At birth, the synapses in the brain are most active at this time in a persons life.
How many synapses are there in the brain?
Around 100 trillion
How many different kinds of neurotransmitters do you release into your synapses?
Each cell has only one, but there are more than 20 different neurotransmitters in the human brain.

How the brain connects things together?
With the Nervous System.
What is the name give to the connections between the nerve cells in our brain?
"synapses"
How do chemicals travel through the human blood?
Synapses
What is the real storage of human brain are there any other living things that can have the same capacity of human brain storage?
Unknown, but as there are about 10 ^ 14 power synapses, and perhaps each could store one bit. So there would be your upper limit. As for other animals, none. But elephants (more synapses, but more body), apes, chimps, and dolphins are the only ones that come close. By the way, that's 100000000000000
Messages move to and from the brain along thin cells called?
Neurons
