Neural network
Neural network. Artwork of nerve cells (neurons, green) connected by nerve processes (dendrites and axons) to form a neural network. The dendrites are the green projections, while the axons are the purple projections, covered in an insulating material called myelin. This insulation allows electrical impulses to pass from one nerve cell to the next, using chemical transmitters to cross the synaptic gap between cells. Many nerve cells are connected together in the human body, forming networks within the brain and spinal cord, which together are called the central nervous system (CNS)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of a neural network, the foundation of our central nervous system. The artwork depicts a mesmerizing web of green nerve cells, known as neurons, intricately connected by dendrites and axons. Dendrites are represented by vibrant green projections while purple projections symbolize axons, both enveloped in myelin insulation. The myelin coating acts as an essential insulator enabling electrical impulses to seamlessly travel between nerve cells. Chemical transmitters facilitate this transmission across the synaptic gap bridging one cell to another. Within the human body, countless nerve cells interconnect within networks throughout the brain and spinal cord forming what is referred to as the central nervous system (CNS). This illustration not only highlights the anatomical structure but also emphasizes how these interconnected neurons play a vital role in communicating and transmitting information within our biological framework. It serves as a visual reminder of the complexity that underlies our neurological functions. Science Photo Library's expertise shines through this artistic representation capturing both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. This thought-provoking image invites contemplation on how these connections shape our experiences and ultimately define who we are at a fundamental level.
