The brain is an extremely complex communications network
Interneuronal communication occurs at synapses

There are many types of neurons
A common feature is their polarity

The membrane potential arises from differences in
the concentrations of ions inside and outside the cell

Some ion channels can open and close depending on the membrane potential,
and help to propagate electrical signals with a very fast speed

These electrical signals are known as actions potentials and are
propagated by opening and closing of sodium and potassium channels

Binding of neurotransmitters to postsynaptic receptors can cause
excitatory or inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs or IPSPs),
depending of the type of synapse and the neurotransmitter released

Different inputs are integrated at the cell body, leading to an action potential
in the axon depending on the balance of the inputs

• Repetitive stimulation can lead to stronger or weaker postsynaptic potentials
• This plasticity can arise from:
presynaptic changes in the efficiency of neurotransmitter release
and/or changes in the postsynaptic responses
• Synaptic plasticity underlies many forms of information processing in the brain
