Or, with the retinal implant, you take a camera and you digitize the signal, and then you plug an electrode grid directly into the optic nerve.
And so it turns out that there is a nerve that's right here that runs up here that innervates these three fingers, and it's close enough to the skin that we might be able to stimulate that so that what we can do is copy your brain signals going out to your hand and inject it into your hand, so that your hand will move when your brain tells your hand to move.
So I'm going to find your ulnar nerve, which is probably right around here.
They actually had enough nerve to ask for a raise.
Can we, as adults, grow new nerve cells?
But it's still true that a neuron, a nerve cell, looks the same in a crayfish, a bird or you.
These detectors are specialized nerve cells called nociceptors that stretch from your spinal cord to your skin, your muscles, your joints, your teeth and some of your internal organs.
Just like all nerve cells, they conduct electrical signals, sending information from wherever they're located back to your brain.
But, unlike other nerve cells, nociceptors only fire if something happens that could cause or is causing damage.
You'll feel the metal, and those are your regular nerve cells.
It's not ideal for the human eye to have a blind spot where the optic nerve exits the retina, but that's how it developed, starting from a simple photoreceptor cell.
While skin cells protect your body, muscle cells contract, and nerve cells send signals, stem cells do not have any specific structures or functions.
The high cost of maintaining resting potentials in all 86 billion neurons means that little energy is left to propel signals down axons and across synapses, the nerve discharges that actually get things done.
And then we have the audacity and the nerve to get upset with law enforcement when we take action.
Well, when you get hurt, special tissue damage-sensing nerve cells, called nociceptors, fire and send signals to the spinal cord and then up to the brain.
But sometimes a wound penetrates into the dermis, which contains blood vessels and the various glands and nerve endings that enable the skin's many functions.
This results in a blind spot, where the optic nerve must pierce the retina to reach the photosensitive layer in the back.
Our nerve cells benefit from movement, and our skin is elastic, meaning it molds to our motions.
In areas that are the most compressed, your nerves, arteries and veins can become blocked, which limits nerve signaling, causing the numbness, and reduces blood flow in your limbs, causing them to swell.

In fact, one of the most famous fictional universal translators, the Babel fish from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", is not a machine at all but a small creature that translates the brain waves and nerve signals of sentient species through a form of telepathy.
First, the vagus nerve, which runs through the body into the brain, quickly transmits the information to the brain stem, passing near an important area of pain processing.
Myelin is an insulator and speeds up the electrical signals zipping down the nerve fiber.
She knows how different wavelengths of light stimulate three types of cone cells in the retina, and she knows how electrical signals travel down the optic nerve into the brain.
The grey matter processes information in the brain, directing signals and sensory stimuli to nerve cells, while white matter is mostly made up of fatty tissue and nerve fibers.
In order for our bodies to move, information needs to travel from the brain's grey matter, down the spinal cord, through a chain of nerve fibers called axons to our muscles.
Because this injury has so severely damaged the nervous system, it confuses the body's normal nerve signaling and creates sensations in limbs that are no longer there.
In 20% of cases, these attacks are intense enough to overload the brain with electrical energy, which hyper-excites sensory nerve endings.
They're connected like nerve clusters: Mariapolis on the South Pole, and Ramachandran on the Equator.
