These circuits are made up of neurons that communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. When we experience something, such as seeing a familiar face or hearing a loud noise, different brain circuits are activated to help us make sense of the situation. Each brain circuit is responsible for a specific function, such as processing visual information or controlling movement. However, these circuits do not work in isolation – they are interconnected and work together to integrate information from different sources. This integration allows the brain to generate a coordinated response to the s...
