Take on a journey with Epilepsy Web For Kids (this website) and discover great things about NEURONS, the great cells in our brains! Everyday, during the month of October 2024 we post one short video clip to learn a bit more about neurons. Most of the information we find comes from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders at this link. We break down the information in easy chunks. Check two additional resources at these links for more information about neurons. Neuron-Life-and-Death (pdf). How the brain changes with age. (link)
