Hi @kpringles97 and @abaney Thanks for the question. The average adult has about 100 billion brain cells. Pretty amazing huh?
Have a look at some of the other questions about brain cells here /brainj11-zone/search/brain+cells

I may have slightly overestimated the number of neurons – some people think it’s 80 to 90 billion. Sorry about that, but as you can see, it’s still quite a lot!!!
