Neuron Cell Body (Soma)

The part of a neuron that contains the nucleus and most of the cell's organelles; it plays a crucial role in processing and transmitting neural information.

Neuron

A neuron that conveys both electrical and chemical messages across the nervous system.

EPSPs

Excitatory Post-Synaptic Potentials, which are temporary depolarizations of postsynaptic cells that make it more likely for a neuron to fire an action potential.

IPSPs

Inhibitory post-synaptic potentials, which decrease the likelihood of a post-synaptic neuron firing an action potential.
