As a data-storage system, the long-term hard drive of the brain may be infinite. On top of all this, it stores some of the information it transmits as memories. That equates to between 18 and 640 trillion signals that your brain sends and receives every second. Each synapse can convey a signal at 0.1–2 times per second. Those neurons send signals across 18-32 trillion tiny spaces called synapses. Human brain structure is a hierarchy made up of about 85 billion neurons. In this article, we’ll explore these different areas of the brain and their function. These are known as the functional areas of the brain. Neuroscientists have attempted to break down the different brain parts to explain its structure. Your brain is so powerful and so diverse, it’s a big task to name all its different functions. However, research is revealing that it is far more complex than just a switchboard between your ears. The classical idea of the human brain is the command center of your nervous system.
