The basic cells of the brain are called neurons, of which we start life with about 100 billion, which is quite a lot. This is just as well, because we then proceed to lose about 100,000 of these each day for the rest of our lives. That adds up to about 37 million per year and around 3 billion over a lifetime. Older readers will be delighted to hear that this is a long way from being the main cause of any senile decay. In fact our creativity and intelligence is not so much connected with the number of neurons we have at any one time but, as we shall see, what we do with them.
