      Ooo good question! I think roughly, scientist think that there are 100 billion nerves in the brain. These are called neurons. Written a different way, that is
      100,000,000,000 neurons. Apparently, if you laid them all end to end, that would make a line 600 miles long! They are too small to see with the naked eye though, so you wouldn’t see that line!
