| Everybody was born with a fixed number of neurons, say 20,000,000,000. The total number of connections is given by 20,000,000,000(19,999,999,999)/2 = 199,999,999,990,000,000,000 connections. As we grow older, the number decreases due to death of neuron cells, the disease known as Alzheimer's.
The electrical agents are chemical ions.
