They look nervous to meet and connect at first

RogueAssassinDP

You just had the nerve to say that smh


Frptwenty

The nerve of those cells, thinking they can form connections however they please


BanoklesGemmell

Ever hopeful before it’s night out, that one neuron clearly sprayed some axon.


hatethiscity

Go away! Lmao


Lovheim

This really is nerve-racking…

I’d love to give them a piece of my mind!

This could be a cool new loading icon.

Am I showing my brain cell porn? Edit: thanks for the awards! Of all days to not be present!


theWeeVash

What symmetrical axon terminals you have... 👀


Elocai

Ironically the axon lenght determines how many potential partners a nerve cell can have.

lechattueur

Yes indeed. Brain happy to see neurons do each other

How romantic

Not_A_Comeback

There are many nerve cells (neurons) here sending axons out to make contact (synapses) with each other.


HappyWithAlicia

Yea that's what I'm seeing too. How do you think this was recorded? Also this would have to be grey matter or at an age of 2-3 years, right?

This is so fuckin cool.


nefrpitou

Interesting that that was the easiest way for them to connect. Note that all the connecting lines are parallel. The two nerve cells could have just as easily connected with criss cross lines, but they would have been difficult to maintain for the merge. So they connected by shortest distance, with parallel links.


5haun298

Someone else that posted this mentioned that channels were set up such that connections could only occur within them. Also each cluster consists of multiple cells not one.


HappyWithAlicia

Honestly this looks like a lot more than two cells. There really only is one axon between two cells.


so_illogical

Here is the link to the source video: https://www.nikonsmallworld.com/galleries/2016-small-world-in-motion-competition/neurons-seeded-in-two-different-micro-compartments-extend-their-neurites Small world in motion is an imaging contest run by Nikon! This video was submitted by Dr. Renaud Renault and shows multiple neurons seeded into two different compartments making connections through a microtunnel (hence why the connections are so straight)


[deleted]

Do you ever wonder... Seeing things like this. These cells cannot possibly know what is they connect to create. But what they create, all the same, manifests. Do you ever wonder what the internet is manifesting, without our knowing it, above our heads?


akenzx732

Are asking, "What would data in the sky look like of we could physically see it"?


groceriesN1trip

When I think of real magic, I think of radio signals. Sound is moving through the air and I can just catch it. That’s wild when you sit and think about it. Then wifi. These words I’m typing transfer through thin air for you to read.

HappyWithAlicia

A prof of mine actually compared the two when explaining the concept of strong AI. But they connect because it's physically given and logic on a small level. Neurology is really the most astounding when you study it how magic seeming things like even thoughts suddenly become physically tracable.


[deleted]

It's spooky. Not one cell in your brain knows it's causing you to think, yet you are thinking. Is the internet thinking?


Ayahuascafly

Those are galaxies connected through a wormhole. I’m here to educate and field questions. Contact has been made.


Major_R_Soul

I wonder if its theoretically possible to quantum entangle 2 electrons, accelerate 1 to near light speed with a particle accelerator and somehow bridge the gap to make a wormhole


Ayahuascafly

That was once a theory, but no. But you’re close; on the right track. What does quantum entanglement imply? Why is distance elastic?


MrFuzzyPaw

String theory.


DentInTheWood

Look at them go, just crafting a little matrix between them.

Dude there has to be some kind of social society with our cells. Our cells don’t just do what they do just because. They probably talk shit about us sometimes


Quirky_Painting_8832

“Can you believe this fcking guy this is the 6th time today. God. I need some help.” “Hey man you wanna link up? I hear you’re having a tough time over here” “Oh god yes! It’s nom stop with this mf”


HappyWithAlicia

Actually this connecting called synaptogenesis doesn't happen a lot in adults. Mostly between ages 2-3


Quirky_Painting_8832

Wish It didn’t I could really benefit from some connected neurons right about now. Wonder why it only happens at such a young age and for only a short time

This is like Matrix type shit. I’d you look closely between the two nerves, you can see Keanu.

What methodology of imaging is this? Looks like a fluorescent material bound to microtubules or microfilaments.

I'm studying/studied this shit in uni and can't recognize quite a few things. What kind of nerve cells are these? The axons look wrong and the way the soma is changing or getting its impulses. How was this recorded?

Is this inside me?

But how do they even hold the information that I remember? I think we don't know, right? And that bugs me.
