Brain circuits

Brain circuits are networks of interconnected neurons that communicate with each other to process information and control functions. Think of them as pathways through which signals travel, allowing us to perform tasks, think, and react to experiences. Different circuits are responsible for various activities, like movement, emotion, memory, and sensory perception. Just as roads connect different parts of a city, brain circuits link different areas of the brain, enabling complex behaviors and responses. Understanding these circuits helps scientists learn how the brain works and can lead to treatments for neurological disorders.
