To perform these functions, the glia cells offer support to the neurons. Neuroscientists compare neurons to electrical wires since they have the same purpose of transferring signals from one region to the…

Some psychologists argue that all actions occur depending on processes in the brain. This human bodys organ releases certain chemicals called neurotransmitters responsible for a specific set of functions. However, the statement that human consciousness and actions are the result of neural processes is quite debatable. The data obtained from researches on brain can explain…

A person comprehends the outside world through receptors that transmit signals to the brain, which form reactions, including a purchase decision. In most cases, impulses from nerve endings are processed in the head at a subconscious level. The traditional marketing strategy does not work in situations where the person himself can not explain the reason…
