Neurons

The basic units of the nervous system; cells that receive, integrate, and transmit information in the nervous system. Neurons operate through electrical impulses, communicate with other neurons through chemical signals, and form neural networks.

Sensory Information

Data received by the sensory organs (like eyes, skin, ears) and transmitted to the brain for processing and interpretation.

Presynaptic Neurons

Neurons that transmit signals to a synapse, the junction between two nerve cells, to communicate with postsynaptic neurons.

Reception Phase
