1. Our brain has the consistency of Tofu - which is weird to think about. 
2. Neural pathways = roads within the brain. 
3. Information is passed along the neural pathways through electrical impulses and chemicals. I'm curious about how exactly this works.

I have around 100 billion neurons in my brain, which have between 1000 and 10,000 connections to other neurons!

Over the course of 1 day, my brain generates more electrical impulses from firing neurons than all the telephones in the world!
