kids.frontiersin.orgCellular Proteins On-Demand: The Brain’s Production and Delivery SystemThe brain is an amazing communication network made of hundreds of billions of cells working together to help us learn, remember, and experience the world. Key to this network are neurons, the cells that send and receive messages. Scientists once thought neurons worked like simple factories, where all the products are made in one central spot. But surprising discoveries revealed a very clever system: neurons can also build what they need right where they need it—near the points where they connect to other neurons, which are called synapses.
