Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The human brain alone contains an estimated 100 billion neurons, and there are about 10 times more glial cells (non-neuronal cells that support and nourish neurons) in the brain. Furthermore, there are neurons throughout the rest of the body, such as in the peripheral nervous system and enteric nervous system, that play a role in behavior control. Therefore, it is likely that the total number of neurons involved in behavior control is well over 1 trillion.
