  1. Overview of neuron structure and function - Khan Academy

    Most neurons follow the same general structural plan, but the structure of individual neurons varies and is adapted to the specific function a given neuron (or class of neurons) needs to …

  2. Overview of neuron structure (types of neurons) - Khan Academy

    This video introduces the structure and structural types of neurons. Explore the structure of neurons, their types, and functions. Uncover the roles of dendrites, axons, and the soma. …

  3. Membrane potential (resting membrane potential) (article) - Khan …

    In neurons, the resting membrane potential depends mainly on movement of K + through potassium leak channels. Let's see how this works.

  4. The synapse (article) | Human biology | Khan Academy

    In this article, we'll take a closer look at the synapse and the mechanisms neurons use to send signals across it. To get the most out of this article, you may want to learn about neuron …

  5. Depolarization, hyperpolarization & neuron action potentials …

    In neurons, the cell enters a state of hyperpolarization immediately following the generation of an action potential. While hyperpolarized, the neuron is in a refractory period that lasts roughly 2 …

  6. Anatomy of a neuron (video) | Nervous system | Khan Academy

    Neurons (or nerve cells) are specialized cells that transmit and receive electrical signals in the body. Neurons are composed of three main parts: dendrites, a cell body, and an axon.

  7. Signal propagation: The movement of signals between neurons …

    Neuronal synapses questions Mini MCAT passage: Neurotransmitter removal from the synapse Mini MCAT passage: Manipulating synaptic transmission between neurons Signal …

  8. Overview of neuron structure and function - Khan Academy

    Most neurons follow the same general structural plan, but the structure of individual neurons varies and is adapted to the specific function a given neuron (or class of neurons) needs to …

  9. Neuroplasticity (video) | Khan Academy

    This process involves changes in synapses and neurons, leading to potentiation or depression of information flow. It's most active during development, but continues throughout life, with …

  10. How to grow my brain (video) | Khan Academy

    The more you work through your frustrations with the right learning strategies, the more your neurons get more used to working together, the closer you are to being that much smarter. …
