What Are Neurons and How Do They Work?

Ғылым және технология

Neurons send signals through a mechanism called action potential. Action potentials are electrical signals that pass through the neuron’s axon. This causes the neuron to pass the signal to the next neuron. Action potentials are the reason the nervous system is able to respond to the environment in a matter of seconds.

    Hello! We'd just like to point out a minor error in depiction of ion channels. The ion channels remain open when the voltage changes instead of the opening and closing consistently which is incorrect.

    how does the brain learn? does it change how many of the endings connect to the next one?

    Basic question is how the memory is stored. Example in computers it is stored as zeros and ones. In brain even though neurons passes electric signals where is an information stored is it like a branch of neurons sticked together or some other way. Anyone interested can join a research on this decoding.

    please i need a smart guy i don't understand: a neuron fires when enough positive potatium ions gets in then it lets out sodium ions and later recharge by extracting the potatium ions outside and letting the sodium in, so how the next neurons will get fired up too if the first neuron only emit sodium ions in his hyper polarization phase ?
