Difference Between Neuron & Nerve
Neuron is a specialized cell that transfers & interprets electrical & chemical messages while a nerve is part of neuron that acts like an extension cord to transfer electrical messages between neurons.
Nerves are only found outside the brain while neurons are only found in the brain.
Nerves are cells and neurons are like extension cords that transfer electricity
Neurons are part of nerves

True or False: Your body develops can develop new neurons anytime you try and learn something new.
True
False
Neurons pass electrical and chemical messages through connections with other neurons at
dendrites
axon
soma cells
synapses
Neuroplasticity can be defined as
the capacity of the nervous system "brain" to develop new neural connections.
when the brain is in a fixed state
when the brain has trouble learning new information.
the ability of the brain to read minds.
Referring to the model to explain learning: The number one most important thing you need to do when trying to learn something new is
Make an emotional connection
Give your full attention to the new topic or subject
Make generations with what you know
Have proper spacing and revisit the topic or subject multiple times
