Read the passage and answer the questions based on the text.
Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor, was one of the most influential scientists in the field of electricity and engineering.
Born in 1856, Tesla was known for his work on alternating current (AC) electricity, which became the foundation for modern power systems.
His numerous inventions, including the Tesla coil and early wireless energy experiments, paved the way for advancements in radio technology and wireless transmission.
Despite his many contributions, Tesla faced financial struggles throughout his life.
Although he collaborated with prominent figures such as Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse, his ideas were often ahead of his time and not always commercially successful.
He died in 1943, largely unrecognized for many of his groundbreaking discoveries.
Tesla’s legacy lives on today, as his innovations continue to influence modern technology.
His work in wireless energy transmission has inspired researchers in fields such as telecommunications, robotics, and renewable energy.
Many of his patents are still relevant, proving that his visionary ideas were far ahead of their time.

The human brain is one of the most complex organs in the body, responsible for processing information, controlling movement, and regulating emotions.
Composed of billions of neurons, the brain communicates through electrical and chemical signals, forming connections that influence thought and behavior.
Scientists continue to explore the brain’s capabilities, uncovering new insights into memory, learning, and decision-making.
One area of research focuses on neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections.
Studies show that learning new skills, engaging in mental exercises, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can enhance brain function and reduce cognitive decline.
These findings have significant implications for treating neurological disorders and improving mental health.
Despite advances in neuroscience, much about the brain remains a mystery.
Researchers are still working to understand conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and the impact of artificial intelligence on brain-like computing.
Future discoveries may revolutionize medicine, leading to better treatments for brain-related illnesses.
