Sentences with phrase «received by the nerve cells»

During a seizure, tiny areas of your pet's brain begin sending out electrical impulses that are received by the nerve cells that adjoin them.

Not exact matches

Neurons, or nerve cells, in the brain communicate with each other by transmitting electric signals, or firing action potentials, through long processes named axons (which send out signals) and dendrites (which receive signals).

The new study by researchers at The Neuro shifts the focus to the loss or degeneration of axons, the nerve - cell «branches» that receive and distribute neurochemical signals among neurons.

In contrast, if regional differences are induced by signals received from the gut lumen, muscle, enteric nerves or other sources, then ISCs near a border should on occasion generate daughter cells from both regions.
