Neurons! They do the work, and you have about 86 billion of them.

You have about 86 billion of them, too!

A

It’s the biggest part and comes in two half.

A

BRAINS! Not Just a ZOMBIE SNACK

50

The cerebrum is filled with good stuff like seeing, hearing, emotions, problem-solving, imagination, and memory,

A

BRAINS! Not Just a ZOMBIE SNACK

53
Q

Sweet, sweet memories.

A

BRAINS! Not Just a ZOMBIE SNACK

54
