In most cases, particularly in higher-order mammals, nerve cells don't adapt - they degenerate or die. Nerve cells are highly specialized to conduct electrical impulses; because of the high degree of specialization, they don't have secondary processes to adjust during times of low blood sugar or other metabolic stresses.

∙ 9y agoNerve cells are relatively simple looking structures which are responsible for some of the most important bodily processes we have. They are responsible for our sense of touch, and make up our brain to make us think.
They have long arms to spread across a wide area and to receive messages quickly, and special hairs to detect movement.
