Nerve Signals Sent From The Brain Displayed For The First Time!

Scientists working at the California Institute of Technology, will go down in history They signed a job. Using a special camera system, experts can detect signals sent from nerve cells with these cameras. they managed to save the image. Let’s look at the details of this important scientific development together.

To achieve their goals, scientists Diff-CUP They developed a special camera using the ultra-fast photography technology called These cameras were fast enough to record 70 trillion frames per second. However, this camera alone was not enough. Experts use the camera interferometer They combined it with a device called a nerve cell and managed to color it with the most basic expression of the signals passing through the nerve cells. The signals “illuminated” by laser beams sent with the interferometer were visualized with Diff-CUP.

Here is the image of the signals sent from the nerve cells

You may have a hard time understanding what we are talking about so far. Now for you, the image above what it means we will tell. As you know, the control center of the body is the brain. Our nervous system transmits commands from the brain to our organs/limbs, and transmits external stimuli to our brain. When we touch something, we perceive whether it is soft or hard, as a result of our brain’s interpretation of the signals sent by our nerve cells. The image above shows exactly these signals.

Scientists, of different nerve cells They viewed the signal transitions. This is exactly why the signals appear at different times above. So much so that the conduction velocity of the nerves ranges from 4 m/s to 120 m/s. This changes the time it takes for a nerve signal sent from the brain to reach the targeted point. By the way; what we mean here not minutes or seconds. A signal sent from a person’s brain can reach the tip of his feet in just milliseconds…
