    English: Complete neuron cell diagram. Neurons (also known as neurones and nerve cells) are electrically excitable cells in the nervous system that process and transmit information. Neurons (also known as neurones and nerve cells) are electrically excitable cells in the nervous system that process and transmit information.

  3. Neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuron

    A neuron, neurone, [1] or nerve cell is an excitable cell that fires electric signals called action potentials across a neural network in the nervous system.They are located in the brain and spinal cord and help to receive and conduct impulses.

  4. Sensory neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_neuron

    The basic circuitry of the retina incorporates a three-neuron chain consisting of the photoreceptor (either a rod or cone), bipolar cell, and the ganglion cell. The first action potential occurs in the retinal ganglion cell. This pathway is the most direct way for transmitting visual information to the brain.

  5. Neuronal tracing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuronal_tracing

    Neuronal tracing, or neuron reconstruction is a technique used in neuroscience to determine the pathway of the neurites or neuronal processes, the axons and dendrites, of a neuron. From a sample preparation point of view, it may refer to some of the following as well as other genetic neuron labeling techniques,

  6. Sensory nervous system - Wikipedia

    The fourth compartment contains the nucleus and is a continuation of the IS region, known as the nuclear region. Finally, the fifth compartment is the synaptic region, where it acts as a final terminal for the signal, consisting of synaptic vesicles. In this region, glutamate neurotransmitter is transmitted from the cell to secondary neuron cells.

  7. Synapse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synapse

    In the nervous system, a synapse [1] is a structure that allows a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or a target effector cell. Synapses can be classified as either chemical or electrical, depending on the mechanism of signal transmission between neurons.

  8. Sensory neuroscience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_neuroscience

    A typical single neuron experiment will consist of isolating a neuron (that is, navigating the neuron until the experimenter finds a neuron which spikes in response to the type of stimulus to be presented, and (optionally) determining that all of the spikes observed indeed come from a single neuron), then presenting a stimulus protocol.

  9. Behavioral neuroscience - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavioral_neuroscience

    Behavioral neuroscience, also known as biological psychology, [1] biopsychology, or psychobiology, [2] is part of the broad, interdisciplinary field of neuroscience, with its primary focus being on the biological and neural substrates underlying human experiences and behaviors, as in our psychology.
