-
Neurons can integrate information.
-
That information is acquired from all the neurotransmitters
-
that are impinging on the dendrites that cause small disturbances
-
that may or may not add up to the large disturbance
-
which becomes an action potential.
-
You go on to study neuroscience or just physiology,
-
you'll learn more about this
-
but I think you can probably understand the basic concept.
-
In the action potential and a neuron we were thinking about a cell
-
that had a receiving end,
-
that receives neurotransmitter inputs,
-
that causes membrane potentials to change,
