Can you explain how the brain works?

The brain is made up of billions of neurons, which are connected to each other by synapses. Neurons receive signals from outside sources (like light and sound) and then send these signals to other neurons via the synapses. These signals are interpreted in different ways depending on where they originate from. For example, if a neuron receives a signal from another neuron that has just received a signal from your eyes, it will interpret this as a visual stimulus. This is how we can see things.
