The Biology of Brain: An Insight into the Human Brain

Abstract

Human brain is a very complex but fascinating subject. The structure of brain has always been an attractive topic to the human beings. This small mass miraculously controls every action of the human body. Unfortunately it is not possible to cover every single aspect of the human brain in just one book. This book will try to explain various aspects of brain which are thought to be the main cause of the learning ability of the brain. Brain itself is made up of small building blocks called the “neurons” that are a major source of attraction on their own. The complexity of neurons, its structure and its functionality is a debated topic. Neurons are spread throughout the body and are present in different shapes, however their basic mechanism does not change (Kuffler et al. 1984). Figure 1 shows various types of neurons that exist in the human nervous system. This is why; we are going to begin with a detailed insight into the Human Nervous system.
