口技小強

The brain is not a simple machine like a heart or lung, but a living network powered by electrical impulses. Using a cockroach's leg and a simple device, scientists can listen to neurons 'spiking' as they sense the world. One hundred billion cells create these patterns in every human brain, shaping everything seen, heard, or felt. Even music played through a phone can make a cockroach leg dance, revealing the universal language of the nervous system.
