Messages to and from the brain travel along the nerves, which are strings of long, thin cells called neurons.

Explanation:

Messages to and from the brain travel along the nerves, which are strings of long, thin cells called neurons (see Figure 6.2). Chemical- electrical signals travel down the neurons much as flame travels along a firecracker fuse. ... Dendrites receive impulses, or messages, from other neurons and send them to the cell body.
