Most neurons follow the same general structural plan, but the structure of individual neurons varies and is adapted to the specific function a given neuron (or class of neurons) needs to carry out.

Neurons receive excitatory or inhibitory input from other cells or from physical stimuli like odorant molecules in the nose. Input information usually comes in through the dendrites.

This video introduces the structure and structural types of neurons. Explore the structure of neurons, their types, and functions. Uncover the roles of dendrites, axons, and the soma. Learn about the …

Neurons (or nerve cells) are specialized cells that transmit and receive electrical signals in the body. Neurons are composed of three main parts: dendrites, a cell body, and an axon.

In this article, we'll take a closer look at the synapse and the mechanisms neurons use to send signals across it. To get the most out of this article, you may want to learn about neuron structure and action …

Wait. So how do the dendrites even respond to a signal. and what would be the defintion of a signal if you are dealing with neurons?

This video introduces the structure and structural types of neurons. Explore the structure of neurons, their types, and functions. Uncover the roles of dendrites, axons, and the soma. Learn about the …

What are nerve impulses? How are they generated? What components are involved in their generation? Watch this video to learn more about the production of action potentials in neurons.

Pain receptors send a signal to the brain through the neurons that tell the brain something is wrong. That message is what we perceive as pain. Some individuals have a different genetic trait that results in a …

The organization of upper motor neurons (UMNs), lower motor neurons (LMNs), and sensory neurons creates a feedback system that modulates the strength of muscle contraction, maintains passive …
