Quin told him they were "dendrites".
Dendrites are projections of a neuron (nerve cell) that get signals (data) from different neurons. The exchange of data starting with one neuron then onto the next is accomplished through synthetic signs and electric motivations, that is, electrochemical signs. The data exchange is typically gotten at the dendrites through substance signals, at that point it goes to the phone body (soma), proceeds with the neuronal axon as electric driving forces, and it is at last exchanged onto the following neuron at the neurotransmitter, which is where the two neurons trade data through synthetic signs. At the synapse meet the finish of one neuron and the starting—the dendrites—of the other.
