How nerve cells communicate with each other over long distances: Travelling by resonance

Friday, August 29, 2014 - 12:20 in Biology & Nature

How nerve cells within the brain communicate with each other over long distances has puzzled scientists for decades. The way networks of neurons connect and how individual cells react to incoming pulses in principle makes communication over large distances impossible. Scientists provide now a possible answer how the brain can function nonetheless: by exploiting the powers of resonance.
