Shop and take pride in knowing that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to disease research/education. "Start the Conversation!" Neurons are the basic nerve cells of the nervous system, transmitting impulses electrochemically to and from the brain and spinal cord. It stands to reason that if we're to make advancements in the treatment of neuropathologic, -plegic and degenerative conditions, we will need to unlock all the secrets of this biologic electrical system. Synapse with the IA Neurons tie, you'll feel connected! A back-of-tie "Awareness Note" and a source citation are incorporated in the pattern design, which reads: "NEURONS are the basic nerve cell of the nervous system, transmitting impulses electrochemically to and from the brain and spinal cord. Better understanding of their physiology is key to advancements in treatment of neuropathologic, -plegic and -degenerative conditions."
