Scientists from the California Institute of Technology, will go down in history They signed an assignment. With a special camera system, experts can use these cameras to detect signals from nerve cells. they managed to save the image. Let’s look together at the details of this important scientific development.

To achieve their goals, scientists Diff-CUP They developed a special camera using ultra-fast photography technology called These cameras were fast enough to record 70 trillion frames per second. However, this camera alone was not enough. Experts use the camera interferometer They combined it with a device called a nerve cell and managed to stain it with the most basic expression of the signals going through the nerve cells. The signals “illuminated” by laser beams sent with the interferometer were visualized with Diff-CUP.

Here is the picture of the signals sent by the nerve cells

You may have a hard time understanding what we’re talking about so far. Now for you, the image above what it means we will tell. As you know, the brain is the control center of the body. Our nervous system sends commands from the brain to our organs/limbs and sends external stimuli to our brain. When we touch something, we perceive whether it is soft or hard, as a result of our brain’s interpretation of the signals sent by our nerve cells. The image above shows exactly these signals.

scientists, of different nerve cells They checked the signal transitions. This is exactly why the signals above appear at different times. So much so that the nerve conduction velocity varies from 4 m/s to 120 m/s. This changes the time it takes for a nerve signal sent through the brain to reach the target point. Besides; what do we mean here no minutes or seconds. A signal sent from a person’s brain can reach the tip of their feet in just milliseconds…
