    Go ahead and try it. Prick your finger on a pin. Kick a chair leg. Lightly, please - touch a hot stove. Barring an extremely rare disease, you will definitely feel something. Something strange and terrible; or, at least, that is what your brain tells you. You won’t want to touch that pin again; or you will be more careful when passing through the dining room; or you will remember the next time you cook to keep some distance from hot metal - all because your brain has told you to refrain in such…

    uses neurons to transmit signals to my body that allows me to make quick motions. Sensory neurons send messages from my muscles and sensory organs, like my eyes and ears, to my brain and spinal cord. My brain then processes that message and sends a response back to my muscles via motor neurons. If, for instance, one of my teammates is heading for the ball the same time I am and we are about to collide, my brain has an internal communication system that allows it to intervene with the motor…

    NEUROTRANSTITTOR AND PERCEPTION 1. Describe how neurons communicate with each other through electrical and chemical processes. The human brain has two types of cells, neurons and glial cells. For a simplistic description, the glial cells are like the neuron maintenance cells, they are necessary to keep the neuron insulated and waste free, allowing the neuron to be more efficient in their job. “Glial cells also appear to influence the formation of synapses and to aid in determining which…

    I believe many gateways can be opened with the solution to this main problem: How do we successfully reverse engineer the human brain? This is our core processing center, where all human function and ability occurs from. If we can reverse engineer it that means there will be a complete knowledge on how to translate that fact to better understanding different aspects of life and our actions. Have you ever wanted to know how a personality develops or what happens to the body on a microscopic level…

    actions of the eye etc. and the back forth signaling between the brain and the nerve cells helps the brain to carry the right action. Action potentials are housed by neuron structures which are made up of axons and dendrites. The synapses is the little gap between neurons across which they communicate with neurotransmitters. Every neuron usually has only one axon which can be short or long leaving the cell body however some of them can have many branches. The cell body receives…

    this is answered correctly, as the actions of the mechanisms are crucial for what is going on inside of our bodies. To begin with, the basic anatomy of the neuron has to be explained, to understand what exactly happens, and how it happens. A neuron cell is most likely the supreme cell within the body of a mammal. Like any other cell, the neuron cell has the nucleus, which function is to control the activities of the cell it is in. It acts like the ‘brain’, it is the control centre. This nucleus…
