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.
