Several estimations revealed that around 100 billion neurons are found in the human brain. Apart from nerve cells there are also glial cells or neuroglia in the brain which mainly provide support and protection to neurons. It is estimated that each neuron is connected with 10,000 other neurons to convey signals to each other through 1000 trillion synaptic connections.
