Do brain cells tranport information to the brain?

Question

If they dont, then what does transport information from the eyes to the brain?

Answer 1

Nerve and brain cells transport information from the eyes, ears, and other sensory organs through eletrical impulses, much like a telephone wire conducts messages. The brain cells interpret this electrical signals and send back signals of their own, allowing us to have a reaction to what we see/hear/feel, etc. Because electricity travels at the speed of light (299 792 458 m / s) this all happens so fast that one wouldn't even know it.

Answer 2

Neurons, which are a type of brain cell, transport information to, from and in the brain. But, not at the speed of light as krdavis said. The transmission is considerably slower than the speed of light because it is not strictly an electrical transmission, but rather a chemical one with many connections on the way from any given part of the body to the brain and from the brain back to other body parts.

Answer 3

Key word here being 'brain', how do cells IN your brain transport information TO the brain?

Nerve cells transport information and your brain cells interpret this information and send the response back the nerve cells which are then transported to the appropriate body part.
