The Action Potential - The Brain’s Most Efficient Game of Telephone
Discover the structure of neurons, including the cell body, dendrites, axon, and presynaptic terminals. This video explains how information is transferred via the action potential, an electrically charged nerve impulse, and the role of myelin in speeding up this process.
