    Upper motor neurons and lower motor neurons act to carry nerve impulses from the brain out to the muscles in the body. Upper motor neurons supply input to the lower motor neurons. They do this by either synapsing directly to lower motor neurons‚ or by synapsing with a local circuit neuron‚ which then synapses with a lower motor neuron. The upper motor neurons originate in the motor region of the cerebral cortex or brainstem. The neurons from the cerebral cortex are important for planning‚ initiating

    Neurons are perhaps the most important part of the human body‚ and while they are a vital part to our lives on a daily basis‚ many don’t recognize the significance they play‚ and have little to no idea how they work. In order to demonstrate just how important these neurons are to our survival‚ I will show you why and how these remarkable‚ microscopic pieces work. In doing so‚ you’ll be able to fully understand one of the human bodies most critical biological features. Neurons are the essential tools

    Proposition: Mirror neurons do not function normally in psychopaths. I think this is a plausible statement. Psychopathy is defined by several traits such as disinhibition‚ inability to demonstrate empathy‚ and dominance. This paper will focus on the inability to demonstrate empathy in psychopathic individuals and mirror neuron dysfunction as a possible cause for this. Mirror neurons are neurons which fire not only when an individual completes an action but when the individual observes another

    What is an action potential? To put it simply‚ it is a message that is sent down the nervous line. The message is written and is sent from the central nervous system. That message is addressed to muscles or glands. This essay will explain what happens before‚ during‚ and after an interneuron action potential. To accurately define an action potential‚ it is part of the incredible course of events that occur during the firing of a neuron. When a neuron is not firing signals‚ the interior of the

    formation of an action potential can be divided into five steps. (1) A stimulus from a sensory cell or another neuron causes the target cell to depolarize toward the threshold potential. (2) If the threshold of excitation is reached‚ all Na+ channels open and the membrane depolarizes. (3) At the peak action potential‚ K+ channels open and K+ begins to leave the cell. At the same time‚ Na+ channels close. (4) The membrane becomes hyperpolarized as K+ ions continue to leave the cell. The hyperpolarized
