The brain is made up of over 100 billion nerve cells with each brain cell connected to around 10,000 other cells, which equals around 1000 trillion connections in your brain. Your brain is actually very soft, jelly-like, and not grey but a deep red in color. The brain controls both involuntary, or lower, actions, such as heart rate, respiration, and digestion. Complex, or higher, mental activity, such as thought, reason, and abstraction, is consciously controlled.

Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another.
