With the generation of impulse in the axon hillock the surrounding membrane gets depolarized thus generating impulse in the adjacent part of the axon. These impulses do not travel backward because the me ...

Since the neural code is ‘read’ by other neurons, it is natural to consider notions of distance that are based on the b ...
