Vocabulary
Hello, I have questions related to the vocabularies in the following sentences.
If you answer my questions, I thank you for answering.
(1) It seems like we make decisions almost immediately, but our brain actually has to go through several steps before deciding anything. Neurons, which are special brain cells, make up different structures in our brains. These structures send signals to each other. After the structures finish evaluating all the signals, they will send out a response that will tell our body what to do. Does this process happen exactly the same way in everyone’s brain?
(2) The region that controls emotions matures faster than the part of the brain that helps you think ahead and measure risk.
