Neuropil

Neuropil is a dense network of interconnected nerve fibers, dendrites, and synapses found in the brain and spinal cord. It forms the core tissue where communication between neurons occurs, without the cell bodies themselves. Think of it as a busy highway system of wiring that allows signals to travel efficiently across different parts of the nervous system. Neuropil is essential for processing information, integrating sensory inputs, and coordinating responses, making it a fundamental component of how our nervous system functions.
