Neurons process information from "summary" of Discovering the Brain by National Academy of Sciences,Institute of Medicine,Sandra Ackerman
Neurons are the basic building blocks of the brain, responsible for transmitting information through electrical and chemical signals. These signals allow neurons to communicate with each other, forming complex networks that underlie all brain functions. When neurons receive signals from other neurons, they process this information by integrating and analyzing it before transmitting it to other neurons. This processing of information is crucial for the brain to function properly and carry out tasks such as learning, memory, and decision-making.
Neurons process information by receiving signals through their dendrites, which are branching structures that extend from the cell body. These signals can come from other neurons or from sensory organs such as the eyes or ears. Once the signals reach the cell body, they are integrated and transformed into an electrical signal, known as an action potential, which travels down the neuron's axon. Along the way, the action potential may be modulated by...
