How does the rabies virus attack or invade the human nervous system?

The rabies virus travels to the brain and spinal cord cells, their main hosts, and enters the cell. Then, it 'orders' the host to produce the rabies cell parts. After that, the parts assemble and when the host is overfilled with the virus, it bursts and the new cells go off to attack more cells. How cheerful! (sarcasm here)
