What Are Neurons and How Do They Work?

Neurons send signals through a mechanism called action potential. Action potentials are electrical signals that pass through the neuron’s axon. This causes the neuron to pass the signal to the next neuron. Action potentials are the reason the nervous system is able to respond to the environment in a matter of seconds.

Hello! We'd just like to point out a minor error in depiction of ion channels. The ion channels remain open when the voltage changes instead of the opening and closing consistently which is incorrect.

how does the brain learn? does it change how many of the endings connect to the next one?

[@mariammahmoud8434]

This is one of the best videos that I've ever watched about the ideas of the nervous system. It's so simple and very easy for kids to understand. I'm a science teacher and I will definitely use this in my classroom (Thank you Science ABC).

We are glad that you found it useful 🙂.

What a magnificent design. A magnificent machine has been created that works at a speed that can calculate and react to split-seconds that are vital for us.

i knew i'd learn something. i didn't know the mechanism of action of myelin sheath's role in speeding nerve impulses. now i know it's due to a phenomenon called saltatory conduction.

[@vinishvijayan6661]

Basic question is how the memory is stored. Example in computers it is stored as zeros and ones. In brain even though neurons passes electric signals where is an information stored is it like a branch of neurons sticked together or some other way. Anyone interested can join a research on this decoding.

If everything is doing by themselves,all mv volts power generated and signal passing through minimum threshold and electrical signal pass , how I'm the one who's thinking this idea? And thinking that memory or taking important decision in my life, it feels like I've no control, everything is doing automatically and I'm just having delusion of free will

[@agentsmith7866]

I use to think about things like that as a kid. Like how does my brain tell my hand to move so fast. People called me crazy or weird for talking about it.

[@odstunsc9543]

please i need a smart guy i don't understand: a neuron fires when enough positive potatium ions gets in then it lets out sodium ions and later recharge by extracting the potatium ions outside and letting the sodium in, so how the next neurons will get fired up too if the first neuron only emit sodium ions in his hyper polarization phase ?
