PPT-What about communication between neurons?

presynaptic ending portion of the axon conveying information to the next neuron Some terms presynaptic ending the portion of the axon that is conveying information to the next neuron. Kassia. Hitchcock and Katy Davidson. Note sensory fibres synapse in the thalamus. Sensory tracts form a 3 neurone chain to the primary cortex. 3. rd. order neurons. Ascend to cortex via internal capsule. What are Mirror Neurons?. Mirror neurons are cells that fire when a monkey (or person?) performs an action or when it views another animal performing that same action. What are Mirror Neurons?. Located in conjunction with a frontoparietal action planning network:. A.  Neurons = masses of nerve cells that transmit information. 1. . Cell Body. - contains the nucleus and two extensions . 2. . Dendrites. – shorter, more numerous, receive information . 3. . Axons. Nervous system. Dr. . Makarchuk. . Iryna. The nervous system enables the body to respond to continuous changes in its external and internal environment. It controls and integrates the functional activities of the organs and organ systems. .

Functions of the Nervous System. or . junction between neurons & effectors. Synapses rarely involve just 2 neurons. neurotransmitters (chemicals) are released into the synapse by axon terminal of the pre-synaptic neuron. neurotransmitters stimulate the dendrites on post-synaptic neurons or receptors on effectors.
