Why are neuron axons long and spindly? Study shows they’re optimizing signaling efficiency
Why are neuron axons long and spindly? Study shows they’re optimizing signaling efficiency:
A team of bioengineers at UC San Diego has answered a question that has long puzzled neuroscientists, and may hold a key to better understanding the complexities of neurological disorders: Why are axons, the spindly arms extending from neurons that transmit information from neuron to neuron in the brain, designed the way they are?
