The Biological Neuron

Writer: DR.GEEKDR.GEEK

(27th-January-2021)



• The brain is a collection of about 10 billion interconnected neurons. Each neuron is a cell that uses biochemical reactions to receive, process and transmit information.

• Each terminal button is connected to other neurons across a small gap called a synapse.

• A neuron's dendritic tree is connected to a thousand neighbouring neurons. When one of those neurons fire, a positive or negative charge is received by one of the dendrites. The strengths of all the received charges are added together through the processes of spatial and temporal summation.
