    NEURONAL DIVERSITY - Categories of neurons of CNS: 1. Afferent/ sensory neurons – convey information from periphery to CNS 2. Motor- sends commands to muscles and glands 3. Interneurons – most abundant signalling elements in the CNS ( process information locally or convey information from one region of CNS to another • Types: a. Local interneurons/ internuncial neurons/ local circuit neurons – short axon Golgi type II (greatly outnumber type I in CNS)

    red color indicates high brain activity. The use of ECVT-based brain activity scanner in detecting brain cancer is possible since the presence of tumor will prevent neuro-signal from reaching the cortical areas. Brain tumors prevent neuro-signal propagation to the cortex‚ causing a certain “brain signal death”‚ indicated by low activity of the brain on corresponding cortex. Therefore‚ the location of brain tumor will be shown as having low activity in the ECVT brain activity map. The ECVT has an advantage

Explain what is meant by this phrase. This means that once the threshold is met‚ an action potential occurs. If the stimulus is too small an action potential does not occur. An action potential is usually initiated in an axon at or near what? The axon hillock‚ the initial segment‚ and the trigger zone. The adequate stimuli
