Central Nervous System

Our central nervous system consists of our brain and our spinal chord. The two main cells that populate the central nervous system are neurons and supporting cells. Neurons are cells specialized for transmitting signals from one location in the body to another. The two types of neurons are sensory neurons and motor neurons. They complement one another to allow the smooth process of perceiving and responding. Sensory input and motor output of the nervous system are integrated by interneurons which are located inside of the central nervous system. Creating a backdoor into any of these cells to allow communication with computer chips will enable human beings to take technology to the next level.

Sensory neurons communicate information about the external and internal environments from sensory receptors to the central nervous system. Signals transmitted along the length of neurons from the dendrite to the axon depends on electrical currents . Communication occurs between the dendrite of one neuron and the axon of a separate neuron. This area between an axon and dendrite of two neurons is called a synapse. It is here where neurotransmitters are transmitted between cells to carry out a specific message to carry out a specific function. A disease like Schizophrenia is prevalent because of excess dopamine, a neurotransmitter. If a backdoor is established to allow a sensory neuron to connect to a resistor to stop excess dopamine then excess dopamine could be eradicated.

Motor neurons send impulses from the central nervous system to output gestures such as hand movement and speech. Parkinson's disease is an example of the degradation of the motor neurons of the central nervous system. It impairs motor skills, cognitive processes, and other functions. Symptoms result from insufficient dopamine caused by the midbrain. If synthetic dopamine were to be made then it would have to be implemented into the brain by a foreign object. Again, a backdoor into neurons would have to be established in order to feed the neurotransmitter dopamine into the brain.
