The human brain weighs a mere three pounds and
looks like a gray walnut, yet it is the most complex structre
in our world and the body's most vital organ. It encases some
100 billion or more nerve cells, and is capable of sending signals
to thousands of other cells at speeds of more than 200 miles
an hour. It deines who we are, yet is influenced by what we do.
It holds the secrets to conditions that have perplexed mankind
for centuries.
