human brain tissue

Human brain tissue consists of specialized cells called neurons that transmit electrical signals, enabling thinking, feeling, and controlling the body. Surrounding neurons are support cells called glia, which nourish and protect neurons. Brain tissue is organized into regions responsible for various functions, such as memory, movement, and language. It is composed mainly of water, fats, proteins, and other molecules, giving the brain its soft yet dense structure. This tissue is highly complex and delicate, allowing for the incredible range of human thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
