Children with mercury poisoning experience a shrinkage of the brain; those with autism tend to have abnormally large brains, with an enlarged cortex and white matter and more nerve processes than normal.
This generates segregated functional domains, where basal nerve processes such as axon growth, synaptic activity, or myelination take place.
He then theorized that this change in the shape of the lens must be controlled by muscles, which themselves are controlled by nerve processes in the brain.
Further support for epiphenomenalism can be derived from the fact, noted by Wilhelm Wundt (1912), that "each simple sensation is joined to a very complicated combination of peripheral and central nerve processes", together with the fact that the causes of behavior are likewise complex neural events.
When cancer cells penetrate the nerve and grow in the endoneurium, they affect the nerve processes and surrounding Schwann cells.
The identity of the nerve processes in the nerve cords was determined by comparison to EM images from the C. elegans database [17].
In C. elegans, the nerve processes in the nerve ring and along the ventral cord show large variations in axon diameter in correlation with vesicle content at synapses.
In the adult cat none of the extremely few μ-opioid-receptor containing nerve processes found in the XII nucleus appear to make contact with genioglossus MNs [26].
All of these categories are related to growth of nerve processes, differentiation of neurons, synapse formation, and synaptic transmission.
Moreover, stretching stimulates afferent nerve processes and may signal the degree of bladder filling to the central nervous system [ 12, 13].
