Neurons
... A neuron functions by generating an electric charge in the cell body that propagates down the axon. This is called an action potential. When a neuron generates an action potential, we say that that neuron fires. Action potentials are always the same magnitude. Neurons communicate with each other via ...

How Does the Brain Work?
... The brain is a multilayered web of cells: nerve cells (neurons) and vastly more numerous glial cells that stabilize the chemical environment and regulate and protect neurons. The outermost layer, the cerebral cortex, is a fraction of an inch thick but contains 70 percent of all neurons. This most ev ...
