Nerve cell with electrical sparks
Nerve cell. Conceptual computer artwork of a nerve cell, also called a neuron emitting electrical sparks. Neurons are responsible for passing information around the central nervous system (CNS) and from the CNS to the rest of the body. The nerve cell comprises a nerve cell body (centre) surrounded by numerous extensions called dendrites, which collect information from other nerve cells or from sensory cells. Each neuron has one process called an axon through which information passes to other cells, including other nerve cells and muscle fibres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate beauty and complexity of a nerve cell in action. In this conceptual computer artwork, created by Alfred Pasieka, we witness the mesmerizing display of electrical sparks emitted by a neuron. The nerve cell, also known as a neuron, plays a vital role in transmitting information throughout the central nervous system (CNS) and to various parts of our body. At the center of attention is the nerve cell body, surrounded by an array of dendrites that eagerly collect information from other neurons or sensory cells. These dendritic extensions resemble delicate branches reaching out to connect with their surroundings. Each neuron possesses an axon - its main process - through which valuable information flows to other cells, including muscle fibers and fellow neurons. The visual spectacle presented here serves as a reminder of the astonishing physiological processes occurring within our bodies every moment. It highlights the remarkable interconnectedness between different components of our nervous system and showcases how electrical signals are transmitted for communication purposes. Alfred Pasieka's artistic interpretation not only provides us with aesthetic pleasure but also offers insight into neurology and neurological phenomena. This image invites contemplation on the wonders of human physiology while emphasizing both scientific accuracy and creative imagination.
