classic synaptic neurotransmission - stimulation of a presynaptic neuron (e.g., by neurotransmitters, light, drugs, hormones, nerve impulses) causes electrical impulses to be sent to its axon terminal. These electrical impulses are then converted into chemical messengers and released to stimulate the receptors of a postsynaptic neuron. The synaptic cleft - is the gap between the presynaptic neuron and the postsynaptic neuron; it contains proteins and scaffolding and molecular forms of "syn...

Basis of neuronal communication - dendrite: input - body: processing/protein production - axon hillock: integration, lots of Na+ channels - axon: conduction - terminal: output, electrical signal converted to chemical signal Threshold of activation -55 mV ---> depolarizes to +50mv (action potential is the reversal of membrane potential from -70mv to +50mv) factors of the velocity of action potential - Thickness: decreased internal resistance to passive current flow - Myelination: allows for ...
