Explanation:

Nerve cells or neurons play a critical role in transmitting signals from various sense organs of the body to the spinal cord where it is processed.

Neurons have different parts - the dendrites which are tiny branches that receive incoming signals from the body, the nucleus, and the axon.
The axon is a long fiber that is covered by a protective layer called myelin sheath. It is this structure of the nerve cell or neuron that helps transmit signals to the Central Nervous System of which the spinal cord is a part.

4. Walnuts (Protein content: 16g per 100g)

3. Cheddar. Cheddar cheese is produced from milk, which has a good content of calcium that helps to prevent osteoporosis and vitamin K. This food has significant quantities of essential amino acids (e.g., lysine, threonine, and tryptophan) (Gueimonde et al. 2019).

4. Walnuts. Walnuts are rich in fats (lipids), especially omega-3 fatty acids, which are required for normal brain function (Haider, Saida, et al. 2011). Moreover, walnuts have a high content of arginine amino acid.
