Studying for a Science Quiz? 🙂 These are definitely “nerve cell facts”! Was there one fact that surprised you more than others? One fact that impresses you more than others? Keep up the blogging!
Hi Dr. Mitzmacher,
The facts that surprised me are all of them, it really is important information that could be used in a quiz but it hasn’t been on a quiz.
Thanks

Hi Joel,
You seem to be an expert on nerve cells! I had no idea the human body has 100 billion nerve cells. Nerve cells are essential for the human body. Have you ever seen a nerve cell up close under a microscope?
Keep up the great research!
