Nerve Cells (Neurons)- Structure & Function, Adaptations & Microcopy

FINDING THAT CONNECTION You’re watching two neurons that I recorded under the microscope sensing one another and connecting. There are 86 billion neurons in the brain - how do they know how to connect to other neurons or body parts when our bodies are developing? They use these webbed hand-like structures that you can see in this video. The finger like projections actively sense the environment around it. When we are developing in utero, you’ll find these ”growth cones,” at the tip of every grow
