Nerve cells are specialised in that they have branched endings called dendrites.

经细胞很特殊，它们有分支的末端，称为树突。

It noted that fluctuations in levels in the brain of dopamine, a chemical which carries signals between some nerve cells and was known to be associated with the experience of reward, looked like prediction-error signals.

这篇论文指出，大脑中多巴胺水平的波动看起来像是预测-误差的信号。多巴胺是一种在经细胞之间传递信号的物质，与大脑的奖励机制有关。

What they found, in attempting to model thought, is that the human brain's roughly one hundred billion nerve cells are much more talented and human perception far more complicated than previously imagined.

Silent synapses - which, as their name suggests, transmit no signal from one nerve cell to another - are often found on the ends of slender, immature protrusions from nerve cells, called filopodia.

沉默突触——顾名思义，它不会将信号从一个经细胞传递到另一个经细胞——通常出现在经细胞细长的未成熟突起的末端，称为树突丝。

When your brain gets sloshed and squished, twisting forces happen down on the smallest level, deforming and tearing nerve cells, and damaged neurons can't don't goodly communicate good.

当你的大脑被甩动和挤压时，扭曲的力量会在最小程度上发生，使经细胞变形和撕裂，受损的经元不能很好地传输信息。

These switches, called " epigenetic tags, " are why a kidney cell looks and acts differently than a skin or nerve cell, even though all three cells' have identical DNA.

这些开关被称为 “表观遗传标记”，这就是为什么就算有相同的 DNA，肾细胞的外观和功能都不同于皮肤细胞或经元细胞。

Inside the glomerulus, the olfactory axons meet up with the dendrites of another kind of nerve cell, called a mitral cell, which relays the signal to the brain.

在肾小球内，嗅觉轴突与另一种经细胞的树突相遇，称为二尖瓣细胞，将信号传递到大脑。

Although current blood tests can accurately detect abnormalities in amyloid and tau proteins, detecting markers of nerve cell damage that are specific to the brain has been harder.
