Carmelitano. Introduction. Neurons are the building blocks of behavior. The 10 to 100 billion neurons make about 13 trillion connections with each other over the synapses. Essential Question: How do messages cross the synapses?. Spinal cord. Transmits messages from the brain to the other areas of the body.. Efferent – away from the brain out to the body. Produces muscle action. Afferent – from the periphery to the brain. Chapter 5. Neurons . The Basic Unit of the Mind. NEURONS: single cells in the nervous system that are specialized for carrying information rapidly from one place to another and/or integrating information from various sources.
