I figured I may as well do a post about the brain and how it works considering the fact that I'm using mine right now. So are you if you're reading this, just how it goes I guess. The brain is weird and wet and squishy. Technically the brain named itself and everything ever seen or heard of. The brain created languages and art. All sorts of cool things have been made by the brain, like this blog post. So the brain is made up of a bunch of cells known as neurons. There's like 100 billion of them in just your brain alone. There are a few types of neurons, Sensory neurons, Motor neurons, and Interneurons. Sensory neurons carry signals from the outer parts of your body into the central nervous system. Motor neurons carry signals from the central nervous system to the outer parts of your body. Lastly, Interneurons connect various neurons within the brain and spinal cord. Basically, neurons are constantly sendings signals all throughout your body to your brain which makes things happen like they do. Normally, the brain sends signals to the exact same spot every time, like a destinated path, which is why our body acts the same everyday. However, when people do drugs like psychedelics and other things, these signals gain new pathways to different parts of the brain. Kind of like connecting the brain to parts of itself that aren't supposed to have ever met. This causes the hallucinations and such from the drugs. So, in all, the brain has a specific function that it is supposed to go through and not be messed with, but some people really hust don't care.
