What is the functional unit of the brain?
neuron
What is the role of the neuron?
Neurons are like they brains messengers. The brain figures out what needs to be done and the neurons tell they body to do it.
Sensory neuron is to motor neuron as?
Sensory neuron is to motor neuron...as feedback system is to control system. The motor neurons send signals from the brain to control the body. The sensory neurons send signals from the body back to the brain.
What is a sensory neurones?
A sensory neuron is one that brings information about environmental simuli to the brain. It may also be called an afferent neuron.
What is the structure of a neuron and its role in the brain?

What are the comonents of the nervous system?
The brain and spinal cord are part of the C.N.S.(Central Nervous System) The nerves from senses -> brain -> motor neuron -> muscle are part of the P.N.S. (Peripheral Nervous System)
Which Part of the brain that controls intellectual functions and decodes information from the senses?
hypothalamus
Which brain structure receives information from all the senses except smell?
Thalamus
