 * Signal transmission

The brain is made up of billions of neurons and a roughly equal number of glia. Whenever you receive a sensory input, have a motor output, or think a thought, an electrochemical signal is being transmitted. Molecular and cellular neuroscience studies neural events at this level.

Hundreds of people have taught and retaught the action potential, which is the electrical phenomenon responsible for signal conduction,along with synaptic transmission, which is the chemical component of signal transmission. Thankfully, this information is abundantly available on the Internet, and this signal transmission page provides a starting point for learning the process.
