Structure The nervous system consists of: a) Sensors b) Neurons – subdivided into: i) sensory (afferent) ii) motor (efferent) iii) interneurons- association neurons. c) Glial cells (neuroglia). Sensors Detect changes both internally and externally. Sensitive to a whole range of stimuli including:- temperature (thermoreceptors)

damage. All this information travels through neurons. Neurons are nerve cells that are essentially the basic building blocks of the nervous system. They are required to communicate information in both chemical and electrical forms. To process information in the brain‚ neurons must work together in a circuit-like fashion to function properly. No one nerve cell or neuron can work alone. Neurochemistry studies how information is passed between the billion of neurons in the brain. Evaluating what happens when

generate inhibitory connections on cells in the thalamus. The firing of globus pallidus internal segment neurons inhibits the thalamus. This reduces the chances of the thalamus exciting the (neo)cortex. However‚ when the striatal neurons (contain D1 receptors) of the direct pathway fire‚ they inhibit the activity of the globus pallidus internal segment neurons. This inhibition releases the thalamic neurons from their inhibition allowing them to fire in a manner that will excite the cortex leading to the

Definition Role in Learning and Development Neurons A neuron is a cell in the brain or another part of the nervous system that transmits information to other cells. Neuron cells are the information processing components of the brain responsible for receiving and transmitting information. Each part of the neuron plays a role in the communication of information throughout the body. Neurotransmitters A neurotransmitter is a chemical substance through which one neuron sends a message to another. Neurotransmitters

The cell body of the neuron‚ responsible for maintaining the life of the cell and containing the mitochondria is the soma. 6.The fatty substances produced by certain glial cells that coat the axons of neurons to insulate‚ protect‚ and speed up the

following: Explain the communication process of neurons in the brain. List some common neurotransmitters and describe their effect on behavior. <Insert Response Here> The communication process of neurons in the brain occurs through an electrochemical process. Neurons pass neurotransmitters through the dendrites‚ which are attached to the ends of each neuron and receive messages from neighboring neurons. The chemical messages that are passed from one neuron to the next cause an action potential
