In both programs, they talked about neurons in the brain. Neurons transfer information to muscle, nerve cells and glands. These programs focused on how neurons play a big role in memory as well as humans cognitive abilities.
In the TED talk video neuroscientist Suzana Herculano-Houzel spoke about why the human brain is different compared to mammalian brains. Scientists in the past thought that the number of neuron in the brain was depended on the actual brain size. Therefore, the larger the brain the more neurons making the mammal be more cognitive. For example, a human brains weighs about 1.5 kg when an elephants brain weighs 4-5 kg. With the scientists theory, it means that elephants should have more neurons making them more cognitive. The
