The basic functional units of nervous
system, are three part units and are key
to brain function.
They power the rapid-fire process that
turns thoughts into movements. The
thought moves as an electrical signal
down to axons to the dendric and then
jumps to another cell accross a space
with the help of some chemical.

THE DOMINANT
SIDE OF THE
BRAIN
Researchers believed that brain
dominance determines a person’s
preferences, problem-solving
style, personality characteristics,
and even career choices. For
example, a right-brain individual
will quickly get a feeling for a
situation, while a left-brain
person will usually ask a lot of
questions first.

one may be more appropriate over
the other depending on the situation.
