Definitions:

Dopamine

A neurotransmitter in the brain that plays a key role in regulating mood, motivation, and reward, among other functions.

Action Potential

A rapid, temporary change in the electrical charge of a cell membrane, essential for nerve signal transmission.

Dendrite

A branched projection of a neuron that receives signals from other neurons or sensory stimuli and conducts these to the cell body.

Axon

An axon is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body.
