Except for the whale, the elephant
and the porpoise, no living thing has
a brain which weighs as much as the
minimum Of the humans. In the entire
human nervous system, according to
the estimates Of Professor Donaldson,
there is the astounding total of II 200
oVo'oOO nerve cells. In the study Of
these cells and their grouped relation
to the five divisions of the brain as
well as to the functions which they
perform, several classes Of scientific
investigators are engaged.
