- Abstract:
- Nerve cells (neurons) are the basis for processing and propagation of information in the nervous system. The morphology of neurons, the generation of action potentials and intercellular communication by chemical and electrotonic synapses is described and illustrated by schematic and electron microscopic pictures. Neurotransmitters are described according to their mode of action and the action of pharmaceutics and drugs on receptors and neurotransmitter levels is explained.
