❗ Information
The neuron is one of the base information transmitters in the brain.
📄 Description
One of the base information transmitters in the brain. Dendrites receive input from other neurons through a synapse, then send signals to cell body. Cell body integrates signal, and if threshold is reached, sends an Action-Potential / fires / spike. This signal travels through the Axon and all its axon terminals, and fires Neurotransmitters into the synaptic clefts, sending a signal to the next neuron.
Dendrites -> Cell body -> Axon -> Axon terminal -> Synaptic cleft
Pre-synaptic neuron: Neuron that fires signal. The AXON side.
Post-synaptic neuron: Neuron that receives signal. The DENDRITE side.
