Neurons communicate using electrical signals, or action potentials. In order for a neuron to transmit its own signal, it must first be sufficiently activated by incoming signals from other neurons ...

Neurons are cells that act as the brain's fundamental building blocks, transmitting information through electrical signals. When a neuron receives a stimulus, changes in membrane voltage (the ...

An electrical impulse cannot directly cross the ... Re-uptake – the neurotransmitter is reabsorbed back into the presynaptic neuron and restored inside a vesicle ready to be used again.

This movement in turn opens up a channel in the protein to admit charged calcium ions into the cell -- electrical current that is -- which signals to the cell how hard it is being touched. However, ...

Receptor in the skin detects a stimulus (the change in temperature). Sensory neuron sends electrical impulses to a relay neuron, which is located in the spinal cord of the CNS. Relay neurons ...

The composition of nodes that effectively transmit sinusoidal waves in a model network resembling C. elegans' electrical synapses network changes according to the waves' wavenumber.
