The Northwestern team, led by physiologist James Surmeier, reports in the online edition of Nature that the dopamine neurons, which are targeted by Parkinson's, are constantly at work — like a pacemaker — sending the striatum nonstop, electrical pulses.

Similar devices are used today to transform the digital 1s and 0s in electrical data into optical pulses that are then sent around the world, forming the backbone of the Internet and long - distance phone lines.

They make up the brain's hard wiring and send messages with electrical pulses.

When these photoreceptors detect light, they send a signal to specialized neurons in the retina called retinal ganglion cells, or RGCs, which then transmit visual information to the brain by firing electrical pulses along the optic nerve.

Stimulating excitatory cells with chemicals or electric pulses causes them to fire, or send electrical signals of their own to neighboring neurons.
