Neural pathway

Okay kiddo, imagine your brain is like a big and complicated city with many different streets and pathways. These streets and pathways are called neural pathways, and they are the routes that messages or signals travel through in your brain.

Think of it like a game of telephone, where someone whispers a message to the person next to them, who then whispers it to the next person, and so on. Each person is like a neuron in your brain, and the message is the information or signal that needs to get from one part of your brain to another.

There are lots of different neural pathways that carry different types of messages or signals. For example, a pathway might carry the signal for you to move your arm, while another pathway might carry the signal for you to see something.

The pathways are made up of tiny cells called neurons, which are like little messengers that pass signals along from one neuron to another. They use chemicals called neurotransmitters to help them communicate and pass signals along.

Sometimes, if a pathway becomes damaged, it can affect how the brain works. This is why it's important to protect your brain and take good care of it, so that all your pathways can continue to work properly and help you do all the amazing things you do every day!
