The Behaving Brain: Video Response The video put the chapter into visual perspective for me in terms of learning about our brain structure and it’s different parts. The video describes the three important jobs our neurons do: receive information from other cells‚ process information‚ and transmit it to the rest of the body. Without our neurons we would have no brain activity. All behavior begins with an action from a neuron. First the brain gathers information from the receptors and spread it

The brain‚ which weighs only three pounds and is made up of eighty percent water‚ is the key organ of our nervous system. It is divided into three different parts: the Cerebrum‚ the Cerebellum‚ and the Medulla Oblongata. The "gray matter" of the brain is about one-eighth inch thick and it gives the brain its gray color. Inside the brain is the cortex‚ which is made up of billions of neurons. These neurons extend into the cerebral hemisphere and it controls all mental activity. In this report I will
