    is in charge of all bodily functions and is central to the nervous system. The nervous system controls the bodies involuntary and voluntary movements. The brain and the central nervous system are closely connected and one could not function without the other. Electrical impulses travel through our body through nerve pathways to and from the brain. These electrical impulses are signals that tell out body how to function. When the nervous system is functioning correctly our body easily maintains homeostasis

    Artificial electrical stimulation of the nervous system is one of the foundations of neurotechnology. However‚ the use of electrical currents to stimulate the nervous system presents several challenges. It is difficult to achieve selective stimulation of only the targeted neurons without activating neighboring neurons. Further‚ electrochemical reactions at the electrode-tissue interface may lead to electrode dissolution or tissue damage. As an alternative‚ magnetic stimulation can be used to stimulate

    of the brain and spinal cord. Neurones are found throughout the body with the majority found in the central nervous system. Neurones are specialized to process information in the body. Neurones convey this information to one another through the stimulation of a detector neurone. This causing a brief change in the electrochemical gradient resulting in the neurone moving away from its resting potential. This is known as an action potential. Once initiated the action potential travels the length of

    Introduction Nervous systems are composed of circuits of neurons‚ highly specialized cells that communicate with each other and with other types of cells by electrical or chemical signals.—The central nervous system (CNS) is composed of brain and a nerve cord. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of all neurons and their projections that are outside and connect with the CNS. The most basic circuits is a reflex arc‚ which occurs rapidly in response to inputs from the sensory neurons and
