Q1) Describe and compare BOTH the similarities and differences between spatial and temporal summation Summation can be defined as the method which neurons use to communicate with each other‚ determining if the cumulative postsynaptic potential in the neuron is enough to pass the threshold for firing. There are two types of summation‚ spatial summation and temporal summation. Both types of summation are similar in that they work to strengthen the EPSP of a neuron‚ meaning they help create more postsynaptic

arose from research on mirror neurons-which fire both during execution and observation of a behaviour (Rizzollati & Arbib‚ 1998). This particular class of neurons plays a crucial function in human social interactions. The importance of the mirror neuron system (MNS) for communication can be understood through its influence on nonverbal communication including facial expressions and hand gestures and verbal language. Furthermore‚ disorders affecting human communication-such as autism and schizophrenia-convey

subject of mirror neurons‚ which are neurons that fire when an animal acts or observes the same action done by another. We learned that these neurons exist primarily in the ventral premotor cortex F5 areas of a monkey’s brain. Experiments proved that neurons in the VPC F5 area fire when a monkey does an action‚ but also fire when a monkey watches a human do the same action. However‚ when the monkey watches the human just carry out the motions of the action‚ not actually do it‚ the neurons in this area

While neuron disorders are debilitating diseases‚ scientists are researching promising new cures. This research ranges from the crosstalk between motor and sensory neurons‚ to the morphing of skin cells‚ and the function of the CLP1 gene and its role in certain diseases. A first example of this promising new research is that scientists have discovered that ephrin and Eph prevent spinal cord neurons from regenerating after injuries. This means that if scientists can coax the neurons that are injured

Neurons Assignment: A neuron is a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the nervous system. Neurons are similar to other cells in the human body in a number of ways‚ but there is one key difference between neurons and other cells. Neurons are specialized to transmit information throughout the body. There are 4 basic types of neurons: Bipolar: A bipolar cell is a type of neuron which has two extensions. Bipolar cells are specialized sensory neurons for the transmission of special senses

COMMUNICATION PROCESS Communication occurs when a message is sent by one person and received and understood by another person. Communicating effectively is essential to successful business operations. Company personnel must communicate with their coworkers‚ clients‚ and vendors to achieve the company’s goals.

27th of November 2011 Neurotransmitters are chemicals located in the brain that are responsible for communication of the information between and throughout the brain and the body. They send and transport signals via nerve cells (neurons). Without neurotransmitters our organism wouldn’t have the ability to function because they are responsible for the operations in our body. With neurotransmitters‚ the brains sends signals to the other parts of the organism to perform the actions they need to
