Neurons—the nerve cells responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals throughout the body—are organized in tissue, tending to cluster together in groups according to how they function.

Pain is an example of an important sensory neuron. When you feel pain from a hot pan or a sharp pin, you are sending sensory information via sensory neurons up to the brain. The flow of electrical ...

Our biophysically realistic computational model closely replicates the electrographic pattern of a typical human focal seizure characterized by low voltage fast activity onset, tonic phase, clonic ...

A typical neuron will have thousands of dendrites ... creating a local difference in the concentration of sodium and potassium ions. Diagram via Washington U. We all should know that an ion ...
