The Neuron

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

A neuron is a cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.

Show

A single neuron in the spinal cord receives input from a touch receptor and passes the signal onward toward the brain.

Watch for

A neuron does not think. Thought is what large populations of neurons do together.
