If you could equate a motor neuron to a Micro Chip .A Mocro Chip has lots of Little Metal things sticking out (leads ) some are inputs and some are outputs ,and some are Voltage supply . If something gets accross one of the outputs the logic gets all messed up or if something gets accross one of the inputs the same happens and if something gets accross the Power supply it probably will burn up the chip . The Neuron is pretty much the same ,you have inputs (dendrites ,axons) and outputs and the power for it comes from in the body in the form of a sugar or starch or both (glyconutrients ).If something stops the power from getting in the chip (Neuron) either burns up or malfunctions . Neurons are like Biochemical Electrical Microchips .The nervous system is an electrical network transmitting information . Some day Like whatever gave Homus Erectus Life .We will be able to make these Biochemical electrical Chips and make one of these Homus Erectus (Humans) .And Plant it on a Planet Somewhere. Truly Amazing, After All Isn't that why we are going into space ? Geo
