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.

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 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.

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.

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?

How neurons communicate with each other at synapses. Chemical vs. electrical synapses.

This video discusses synapses, where neurons communicate with target cells. It differentiates between two types of synapses: chemical and electrical. It also explains the role of the synaptic cleft, …

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 …

Learn about three main patterns of action potentials in neurons: No Action Potentials Until Excitation: Some neurons don't fire any action potentials until they receive sufficient excitatory inputs.
