What is a Neuron? Parts and Function

👉Check out my official Psych Explained Merch 🧠: psych-explained.creator-sprin...
In this video, Dr. Kushner covers the parts and function of a neuron. And, three basic types of neurons: motor neuron (efferent), sensory neuron (afferent), and interneuron.
"The human brain has 100 billion neurons, each neuron connected to 10 thousand other neurons. Sitting on your shoulders is the most complicated object in the known universe" - Michio Kaku

    You are an exceptional teacher. My middle schooler and I are learning about the neuron and neuromuscular system. We've watched a few other KZread videos but were left confused and didn't learn much. You broke it down in a way we can understand. Thank you for taking the time to explain the parts and functions using words that a non-medical person can grasp and done so in a point A to B fashion. You delivered well. The visuals, definitions of terms, mentioning the various names for the same thing - were all so helpful. We also watched your video on Action Potential, which is also exceptional. Thank you.

    I have been seeing these diagrams and explanations since I was in college; however, you have given the best lecture on this than I have heard yet. What seems to be missing in my understanding is the next couple of macro steps that explain: filtering, rejecting, and networking of electro impulses at the axion field of tissue. Then, of course, the next macro step of messaging by either consolidation or separation of the electro/chemical impulses. I certainly hope you can address these with the same eloquence as you didn’t the micro level or the neuron. Thanks for doing these.

    This is the first time listening to your lecture and I teally enjoyed. Can you tell me whether a bewborn will have the abovementioned structure in place once being born. What happens to a premature infant, say 26 weeker, 30 or 32 weeker. I work with neonates so I am interested to learn. Thank you in advance. I also just watched your hippocampus lecture, I will like to know the same questions in terms structure and development of various gestation and its impact.

    Yep 👍 Obviously simplifying but: Hypothalamus receives signals that you are hungry - signals the cortex which triggers a thought “I am hungry” - motor cortex sends efferent neurons to your arm to reach for an apple 🍎- eat!!!

SOOOOO ANNOYING. Why bring it up if you're not going to talk about it? Just to aggravate listeners?
