Falling dominoes simulate signal transmission in a neuron
Several aspects of nerve cell transmission are mimicked by the falling dominoes model. Nerve cells send and receive information through long bodies, which transmit signals. To simulate the signals that neurons send and receive, you need to measure the length of a domino and use a ruler and piece of tape to reinforce the hinge between the domino and the ruler. To play with this model, you can also try making different patterns using dominoes to study the function of a neuron.
