I edited out the last bit when I asked, Where is the neuron? and she says, The neuron?

and she says, The neuron? The neuron, and then she looked and did this.

Let's look at neurons.

They are called neurons.

This is inside the first neuron.

Pyramidal neurons (pyramidal cells) are a type of neuron found in areas of the brain including the cerebral cortex, the hippocampus, and the amygdala.

Nerves are in fact bundles of cells called neurons and each of these neurons is highly specialized to carry nerve impulses, their form of electricity, in response to only one kind of stimulus, and in only one direction.

What's common among these groups of cells is that they all produce the neurotransmitter dopamine.

A very dense network of processes occupies the space between the cell bodies of the neurons, neuroglia (cells that support and protect neurons), and blood vessels.

VS Ramachandran The neurons that shaped civilization

We're the neurons in this brain.

It starts by killing the motor neurons in your spinal cord.

The branches of neurons are like the wires of the brain.

I mean, neurons have thousands of these.

Now the next natural question is, what happens at the neuron to neuron junctions?

How does the signal go from one neuron's axon to the next neuron's dendrite?

There's a class of cells, a fairly small cell, an inhibitory cell, that quiets its neighbors.

So now the neurons are represented by little nodes or circuits on the chip, and the connections among the neurons are represented, actually modeled by transistors.

A mouse has about 1,000 times as many neurons as a fly.

Your brain is made out of 100 billion cells, called neurons.

Sort of eavesdrop on the activity of nerve cells in the brain.

So neurons are the information processing apparatus that those communities of cells built up.

In order to find connectomes, we have to see all the neurons at the same time.

So we can describe the communication between the neurons.

Afferent neurons communicate with specialized interneurons.

These cells are modified postganglionic neurons.

Here's the key feature though.

That one is just amateur stuff, but what she was saying, as you could make out, was about neurons, with her hands were like that, and she was saying neurons communicate.

There's no bottleneck here.

The way brains work, I told you all, you have got all these neurons.

It penetrates the mucosa.

Liver cells, nerve cells, pancreatic cells we still can't grow them even today.

And in this slide you see the neurons and the synapses of the brain don't form.

And you may have more or less neurons.

It actually exaggerates their separateness of representation, in multi dimensional neuronal representational terms.

Because, if the first neurons in the chain are activated, through their synapses they send messages to the second neurons, which are activated, and so on down the line,

Neurohormones, released by neurosecretory cells, also have an effect on many brain regions via the circulatory system.

Now to bring home the point of how close it is the relationship between the grid of neurons and the topographical arrangement of the activity of the neurons and our mental experience I'm going to tell you a personal story.

This condition leads to brain inflammation and the death of nerve cells.

It blocks the channels that the neurons use to send these signals.

Now, the manifestation of this depends on where in the brain these neurons are.

So in this case, they would turn into nerve cells.

So, the fabric of the brain, even though your brain may be smaller, bigger, it may have different types of neurons, different morphologies of neurons, we actually do share the same fabric.

A nervous system emerges from the assemblage of neurons that are connected to each other.

And it's so called, of course, because all of these neurons are glowing different colors.
