Most neurons follow the same general structural plan, but the structure of individual neurons varies and is adapted to the specific function a given neuron (or class of neurons) needs to …

Neurons receive excitatory or inhibitory input from other cells or from physical stimuli like odorant molecules in the nose. Input information usually comes in through the dendrites.

This video introduces the structure and structural types of neurons. Explore the structure of neurons, their types, and functions. Uncover the roles of dendrites, axons, and the soma. …

Neurons (or nerve cells) are specialized cells that transmit and receive electrical signals in the body. Neurons are composed of three main parts: dendrites, a cell body, and an axon.

Chemicals called neurotransmitters transfer information between two neurons separated by a gap. These chemicals pass the information from axon terminal of the first neuron to the dendritic tip …

In neurons, the resting membrane potential depends mainly on movement of K + through potassium leak channels. Let's see how this works.

In this article, we'll take a closer look at the synapse and the mechanisms neurons use to send signals across it. To get the most out of this article, you may want to learn about neuron …

Wait. So how do the dendrites even respond to a signal. and what would be the defintion of a signal if you are dealing with neurons?

Your brain is a hotbed of electrochemical activity. About 100 billion neurons are each firing off 5-50 messages (action potentials) per second. This activity allows you to process your …
