what helps nerve function
Fish. Fish is good brain and nerve food. A study published in the September 2010 issue of the journal Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica found that fish oil increased the number of neurons in the brain that produce dopamine, a brain neurotransmitter that is necessary for proper nerve and muscle function.
All nerves have two main functions, these are: 1  Receive signals: Nerves receive signals because they are irritable, meaning that they can respond to a stimulus.  Transmit nerve impulses: Nerves are able to transmit impulses along the length of the nerve cell in the form of an electrical signal (like power lines). These electrical signals move from one end of the nerve cell to another and can pass from nerve to nerve (power pole to power pole).
