      There are more nerve cells in the human brain than there are stars in the Milky Way, over a billion in the human brain alone.

     The nervous system is pretty amazing, it allows the brain to send signals to the rest of the body; All of these billions of neurons work together to communicate these signals that allow our bodies to feel, experience, and do all of the amazing things our bodies do on a daily basis;

Fun Fact: Nerve impulses travel to and from the brain at speeds of up to 250 miles per hour, faster than a Formula 1 race car.
