Neurons and generate
Neurons generate patterns in the EM field, which in turn modulate the firing of particular neurons.
Neurons in the cerebellar nuclei generate spontaneous action potentials despite ongoing inhibition from Purkinje cells.

Neurons and electrical
Neurons communicate by chemical and electrical synapses in a process known as synaptic transmission.
Neurons can be distinguished from other cells in a number of ways, but their most fundamental property is that they communicate with other cells via synapses, which are membrane-to-membrane junctions containing molecular machinery that allows rapid transmission of signals, either electrical or chemical.
Neurons are the information-processing cells of the nervous system: they sense our environment, communicate with each other via electrical signals and synapses, and produce our thoughts and movements.
Neurons and other excitable cells produce two types of electrical potential.

Neurons and signals
Neurons are highly specialized for the processing and transmission of cellular signals.
Neurons send signals to other cells as electrochemical waves travelling along thin fibers called axons, which cause chemicals called neurotransmitters to be released at junctions called synapses.
Neurons in culture develop synapses that are similar to those that form in vivo, suggesting that synaptogenic signals can function properly in vitro.
Neurons emit weak radio signals across the ELF / SLF / ULF frequency bands which are detectable remotely.
Neurons are the basic functional unit of the nervous system and are highly specialized cells that are capable of sending these signals that operate high and low level functions needed for survival and quality of life.

Neurons and travel
Neurons form networks through which nerve impulses travel, each neuron often making numerous connections with other cells.
Neurons starting in the thalamus travel up the posterior limb of the internal capsule, and again head and leg swap relative positions.

Neurons and along
Neurons communicate with one another via synapses, where the axon terminal or en passant boutons ( terminals located along the length of the axon ) of one cell impinges upon another neuron's dendrite, soma or, less commonly, axon.
Neurons that form the facial nucleus are produced in r4, but move along the anteroposterior axis of the hindbrain into r6, after which they move dorsolaterally.

Neurons and their
Neurons exist in a number of different shapes and sizes and can be classified by their morphology and function.
Neurons can be classified according to their electrophysiological characteristics:
Structural Classification Neurons are grouped structurally according to the number of processes extending from their cell body.
Neurons of the LGN send their axons through the optic radiation, a direct pathway to the primary visual cortex.
Neurons which are small in relation to their length, such as some neurons in the brain have only electrotonic potentials ( starbust amacrine cells in the retina are believed to have these properties ); longer neurons utilize electrotonic potentials to trigger the action potential.
Neurons coding a particular movement reduce their responses with time of exposure to a constantly moving stimulus ; this is neural adaptation.

Neurons and axon
Neurons are electrically excitable cells composed, in general, of one or more dendrites, a single soma, a single axon and one or more axon terminals.
; Bipolar Neurons: Bipolar neurons are spindle-shaped, with a dendrite at one end and an axon at the other.
; Unipolar Neurons: Sensory neurons have only a single process or fibre which divides close to the cell body into two main branches ( axon and dendrite ).
Neurons affected by the altered protein accumulate excess neurofilaments in the axon, the long extension from the nerve cell that transmits its signal to other nerve cells and to muscles.

Neurons and s
Neurons often have extensive networks of dendrite s, which receive synaptic connections.
* Neurons in Onuf ’ s nucleus lack autonomic dense core vesicles even though they receive the same synaptic endings as alpha-motor neurons

Neurons and .
Neurons, however, are usually considered the most important cells in the brain.
Neurons, Schwann cells, and fibroblasts work together to create a working nerve.
Neurons, though having a capacity to express glycogen synthase, lack capacity to degrade it.
Neurons connect to each other to form neural networks.
Neurons are the core components of the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral ganglia.
Neurons do not undergo cell division.
Neurons that fire in bursts are called phasic.
Neurons differ in the type of neurotransmitter they manufacture.
Neurons such as Purkinje cells in the cerebellum can have over 1000 dendritic branches, making connections with tens of thousands of other cells ; other neurons, such as the magnocellular neurons of the supraoptic nucleus, have only one or two dendrites, each of which receives thousands of synapses.
Neurons are cells specialized for communication.
Neurons are sometimes called nerve cells, though this term is potentially misleading since many neurons do not form nerves, and nerves also include non-neuronal Schwann cells that coat the axons in myelin.
Neurons expressing certain types of neurotransmitters sometimes form distinct systems, where activation of the system affects large volumes of the brain, called volume transmission.
Neurons are the core components of the brain, the vertebrate spinal cord, the invertebrate ventral nerve cord, and the peripheral nerves.
Neurons respond to stimuli, and communicate the presence of stimuli to the central nervous system, which processes that information and sends responses to other parts of the body for action.
Neurons do not go through mitosis, and usually cannot be replaced after being destroyed, although astrocytes have been observed to turn into neurons as they are sometimes pluripotent.
Neurons in the putamen were selected for monitoring only if they were related both to the task and to arm movements outside the task.
