And that is, there are mirror neurons, just as there are mirror neurons for action, there are mirror neurons for touch.

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.

There's a big pipe with the blood flowing through it, and around that pipe are the nerves drawing their nutrient supply from the blood.

What a strange man.

But then I knew for certain that although my body might be limited, it was my spirit that was unstoppable.

1. Neurotic disorders (anxiety neurosis and other non specific neurotic disorders)

War of nerves.

Bad nerves, huh?

The Neuroeconomics Revolution

Its modest nervous system consists of just 300 neurons.

And so when the green neuron wants to communicate, it wants to send a message to the red neuron, it spits out neurotransmitter.

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. This space (the neuropil) represents 90 98 of the volume of the human cerebral cortex, with an estimated one billion synapses per cubic millimeter of neuropil.

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.

Geneviève is sad, secretive, independent.

And you can see that the green neuron touches the red neuron at two locations, and these are what are called synapses.

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

We're trying to preserve nerves we can't see where they are.

NerveRot

Bad nerves.

Just nerves?

No, this war of nerves.

You're nuts! (chuckles)

What's with her?

I'm Father Brym's housekeeper

We color every neuron in, in a different color, and then we look through all of the images, find the synapses and note the colors of the two neurons involved in each synapse.

Imagine a network of neurons with one neuromodulator.

Now, at this point, you've learned the basics of neurons and synapses.

So, I call them Gandhi neurons, or empathy neurons.

Are you crazy?

NerveRot

The Cold War ...the war of nerves...

You should stop charging your nerves.

You idiot!

Are you nuts?

Now this is the part of the nervous system that deals with the things that we don't consciously control, like digestion, heart rate and sexual arousal.

If that some place else where it bulges is inside the biggest nerve in your body, your brain, you get a vascular migraine.

And it was extraordinary to be taken by a priest.

The headquarters for orgasm, along the spinal nerve, is something called the sacral nerve root, which is back here.

Well it turns out it's these neuromodulators, just like the neuromodulators in that little tiny ganglion in the crabs.

Or maybe just the plain family doctor.

My nerves are on edge.

One neuron can be connected to so many other neurons, because there can be synapses at these points of contact.

We have been able to see nerves for facial expression, for facial movement, for breathing every single nerve nerves for urinary function around the prostate.

They send little pulses of electricity down their processes to each other, and where they contact each other, those little pulses of electricity can jump from one neuron to the other.
