An action potential in a neuron cell membrane.
Tiny electrical signals that carry their information in a coded form like tiny bursts of electricity inside a computer.
an electrochemical event that occurs within the neuron.
the electrical discharge that travels along a nerve fiber; "they demonstrated the transmission of impulses from the cortex to the hypothalamus"
an electrical phenomenon that passes as a wave along the surface membrane of a nerve fiber
an electrical signal produced by the flow of ions across the plasma membrane of a neuron
an electrical signal that travels along an axon
an electro-chemical reaction (nerve wave propagation)
a wave of depolarising current called an action potential that travels along the entire neuron by allowing charged ions of sodium and potassium to flood through channels in the semi-permeable membrane around the nerve cell
a wave of electrical activity that passes from one end of a neurone to the other
The electrochemical charge carried by an axon.
An electrical current is carried along the plasma membrane (outer skin) nerve, and it may "start" in one of three ways: a) spontaneous "ignition" of the nerve cell body, b) removal of a suppressor impulse, and c) reception of an electrical impulse from other nerve cells.
Information in the form of an electrochemical signal that travels through a neuron in response to a stimulus.
