How Neurons Communicate: The Synapse

In this video I explain how two neurons communicate using a neurotransmitter that travels across the synapse to receptor sites. This neurotransmitter can then influence the flow of ions in the postsynaptic neuron which can change its likelihood of firing … Read More

The Action Potential

In this video I explain how an action potential is triggered in a neuron when it reaches its threshold. I explain the movement of ions, resting potential, and the all or none principle of neural firing. I also cover how … Read More
