(OMITTED) Your brain registers pain through neurons,special cells that wind through the body.

Neurons have these projections because one important property, or one important function of neurons, is to communicate with each other.
这些突起,源于神经细胞,一项重要的性质,或者说一项重要的功能,那就是实现信息的交流
We've then talked about how neurons can communicate to one another; then, turned to how neurons are wired up together.
接着我们还讲了,神经元之间是如何进行信息传递的,之后,我们又谈到了,神经元是如何连结在一起的
(Hargreaves says,) they applied the solution to mice neurons;

Like many cells in neurons, the shape of the cell is intimately related to its function within the organism.
同许多种神经细胞一样,这个细胞的形状和,它们在生物体中执行的功能紧密相关
They have nothing to do with the cells that are on your head, the hairs on your head. These are modified neurons.
这些细胞与脑细胞,不是一回事,与头发也没有任何关系而是改良后的神经元。
Making sure that your lump of flesh doesn't have its neurons hurt?
确保你血肉之躯的神经细胞不受伤害?
So, one simple way to code intensity is the number of neurons firing; the more neurons the more intense.
影响反应强度的一个简单因素,就是产生神经冲动的神经元数量,神经元越多,反应强度越大
The motor neurons are deactivated and then, because the way you breathe is through motor neurons, you then die.
运动神经元被抑制了,也因为你的呼吸是由运动神经元支配的,那接下来你就会死去
So, you have neurons and they're clustered together and they fire and they communicate to one another.
所以,你有很多的神经元,它们聚集在一起,发放神经冲动,彼此间相互联系
Now because it is so important to understand how the neurons present the information, ? let me go into a bit more detail. Ok?
既然要理解,神经元传递信息是如此重要,我来更加详细地解释一下,好吧?
And to give you, again, a feeling for the complexity of these systems, the cerebellum contains approximately 30 billion neurons.
小脑包含大约三百万个神经元,这也能够让你再次体会到,这些系统的复杂性
Now, this is in the resting state of all cells, there's some membrane potential and neurons have this resting membrane potential also.
现在这是一个静息状态的细胞,它具有膜电位,神经元也具有类似的静息电位
That's obvious when you look at neurons and it will be obvious when we look at other kinds of cells as well.
当你看到神经元细胞时,这一点就一目了然了,我们观察其它细胞时也是如此
That is interesting because it kind of looks to some extent like the way neurons look and this is often known as neural networks.
有趣的是,因为它看上去很像神经元的样子,所以通常都将它称之为神经网络
What this does then is it paralyzes you because your motor neurons-- You send the command to your arm to stand, to lift up.
结果就是它能使你瘫痪,因为你的运动神经元,你想要举起手臂
Now if the spinal cord is injured, for example, what we propose to do is to tap into the electrical signals associated with individual neurons.
现在,如果脊髓受到伤害,我们建议去接近与单个神经元,相联系的电子信号。
What happens in development isn't for the most part the growth of new neurons.
发展中所发生的主要事情,并非是新神经元的生长
To get to the whole story, we have to record from hundreds of neurons.
要得到整个谜底,我们必须录下数百个神经元。
Many neurotransmitters that carry signals between neurons in your brain work this way.
在脑部神经元细胞中,传递信号的神经递质分子的,作用原理就是如此
And it's through these clever ways that neurons can affect your mental life.
神经元会通过这些巧妙的方式,来影响你的心理活动
There are sensory neurons, which take information from the world so as you see me, for instance, there are neurons firing from your retina sending signals to your brain.
感觉神经元,负责收集外界信息,比如,当你看到我的时候,视网膜上的神经元会产生神经冲动,将刺激信号传递到你的大脑
One interesting thing about neurons is a neuron is like a gun.
神经元有趣的一点在于,神经元就像把枪一样
One could easily, for example, differentiate between a red cell and a neuron, but a skilled biologist who's looked at many, many different cells could differentiate between different types of neurons.
普通人可以很轻易的,分辨出神经元和红细胞,然而一个训练有素的生物学家,辨识过许多不同细胞之后,能够分辨出不同种类的神经元
If you decide to raise your hand, those are motor neurons telling the muscles what to do.
如果你要举手,这些运动神经元会告诉肌肉该做些什么
And the answer is, although neurons are all or nothing, there are ways to code intensity.
答案就是,尽管神经元服从全或无法则,但仍有许多因素会影响神经元的反应强度
Now, So, we've talked a little bit about the basic building blocks of the brain "neurons".
到现在为止,我们已经讲到了,大脑的基本单元,"神经元"
It turns out that neurons relate to one another chemically in a kind of interesting way.
原来神经元之间,是通过奇妙的化学方式,而相互联系的
As Lewis Carroll's Alice might have phrased it, "You're nothing but a pack of neurons."
正如刘易斯·卡罗尔,在《爱丽斯》中所描述的,"你不过是一堆神经元罢了"
There are a lot of them about one thousand billion of them and each neuron can be connected to around thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, other neurons.
他们大量存在,大约有上千亿,每个神经元都和其周围上千个,甚至上万个神经元相连接
