Another key factor is the insulating fatty sheath encasing neuron fibers, which affects the speed of electrical signals.
The protein overload causes a neuron to form many more connections to other neurons than normal, creating chaos by spreading nerve instructions to too many cells.
Many lines of physiological and pharmacological evidence show that AMPA receptor desensitization plays an important role in fast excitatory synaptic transmission by affecting transmission efficacy of individual synaptic bouton, integrative functions of neuron, and synapse plasticity.
One interesting thing about neurons is a neuron is like a gun.
The discovery of the neuron was a milestone in brain research, and paved the way for modern neuroscience.
There are a lot of them about one thousand billion of them and each neuron can be connected to around thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, other neurons.
Mental and physical exercise, for instance, both boost neuron survival.
In front, the long thin cellular protrusion of the neuron extends, pauses, then drags the bulbous cell body behind it, then extends again, and so on.
For instance, when the test consisted of a few dots moving to the right within the jumble of other random dots, the neuron coding for "rightward movement" would occasionally fire.
We have thoughts in our minds that are more than the sum of all neuron activity.
The term 'neuron' was introduced in 1891.
Your brain doesn't just have neurons, but also neurotransmitters, which are messengers that bring brain signals from one neuron to the next one.
And then if you get a certain number, plus 60 or something, the neuron will fire and it fires along the axon, the thing to the right.
They are the products of changes in the frontal lobe of our brains, in the rate of neuron growth, in the shedding of the myelin sheath around our nerve cells.
Instead, what we see is a different pattern from every neuron.
Each neuron in the worm's brain is known, and is assigned a three letter name.
