How does the brain process information?

  1. By connecting neurons

  2. By activating hormones

  3. By lowering synaptic potentials

  4. By increasing neurotransmitters

The correct answer is: By connecting neurons

The brain processes information through connections between neurons. These connections create networks that allow different areas of the brain to communicate and work together to interpret and analyze incoming information. The other options are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the role of neurons in processing information. Hormones and synaptic potentials can affect brain function, but they do not play a direct role in processing information. Similarly, while neurotransmitters are important for neural communication, they do not fully explain how the brain processes information.
