Forest of Neurones

This drawing gives an essence of the dense network of neurones likened to a forest, with tiny orange neurotransmitters in between synapses, resembling flowers. Here memories, thoughts and feelings are formed. When you are kind to someone, or someone is kind to you, your neurones are buzzing with increased levels of neurotransmitters (endorphins serotonin, dopamine) that helps give us a legal high. Our brains have 100 billion neurones (nerve cells) with dense networks and branches that connect at more than 100 trillion points. More kindness results in more buzzing neurones, more neurotransmitters and heightened feelings of happiness.
