Resonance in the activity of nerve cells (left) allows activity within the brain to travel over large distances, e.g. from the back of the head to the front during the processing of visual stimuli. Credit: Gunnar Grah/BrainLinks-BrainTools How nerve cells within the brain communicate with ea...
Furthermore, the scientists observed that the nerve cells are rhythmically active in the rich-club and also communicate with the rest of the network rhythmically. The othernerve cells, however, are mainly arrhythmicly active. "We were the first to show that the rhythmic activity in fixed freque...
Describe how sensory receptors communicate to the central nervous system. Discuss how a peripheral nerve can find its way back to the cells they originated from. What is the function of nerve cells? Answer the following question. Explain how neurons convey information using both...
On the next page, we'll learn about how nerves communicate with each other. Synaptic Transmission Like wires in your home's electrical system, nerve cells make connections with one another in circuits called neural pathways. Unlike wires in your home, nerve cells do not touch, but come clos...

How do nerve cells communicate with other nerve cells? How is a neuron adapted to its function? How does a nerve cell communicate with other nerve cells in the central nervous system? How do action potentials allow messages to be delivered to the brain? Explain why "By causing calcium to ...
How the nerve fiber (axon)-oligodendrocyte precursor cell synapse responds to neural activity to generate new myelin. Source: NathanJMichaels Oligodendrocytes develop from oligodendrocyte precursor cells, also known as OPCs. OPCs are all over the CNS and, much like their differentiated successors ...
New findings challenge one of the established views of how nerve cells communicate with one anothertext editorEmerging Infectious Diseases
Mixed into those are millions of living cells as well as various chemicals that encourage cells to communicate and grow. Some bioinks include a single type of cell, while others combine several different kinds to produce more complex...
We have approximately 100 billion nerve cells in our brains, all of which communicate with one another. Why do they lead to clear thoughts or purposeful actions instead of mere gibberish? The reason lies, among other things, in a small group of inhibitory nerve cells that can use the messeng...
