Inhibitory Synapses

Junctions between neurons where the action of one neuron can decrease the likelihood of the second neuron firing an action potential, thus inhibiting its activity.

Action Potentials

Electrical impulses that transmit signals along neurons, essential for the functioning of nerves and muscles in the body.

Sensory Adaptation

The process by which sensory receptors change their sensitivity to a stimulus over time, often leading to diminished sensitivity to a constant stimulus.

Perceptual Invariance
