Neurotransmission
NEURONS (nerve cells) communicate chemically by releasing and responding to a wide range of chemical substances, referred to in the aggregate as NEUROTRANSMITTERS. The process of neu...

Neurons
The basic cellular unit of the nervous system is the neuron. The unique morphological and intercellular structure of the neuron is dedicated to the efficient and rapid transmission of neural s...

Neuron
Neurons are nerve cells (neurocytes), which, together with neuroglial cells, comprise the nervous tissue making up the nervous system. The neuron is the integral element of our five senses and ...

Vertebrates
The central issue in morphology of learning and memory is how such constructs are stored in the nervous system. The basic shape of neurons and synapses is illustrated in Figure 1. In the l...
