So  the mind-body connections is literally thanks to the nervous system. ]]> 2018-06-26 20:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/dani86designer/papvcvh72j8w/wish/268643441 Structure of a neuron dani86designer https://padlet.com/dani86designer/papvcvh72j8w/wish/268644528 The mental life of the human being involves the activity of the nervous  system, especially the brain.]]> 2018-06-26 20:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/dani86designer/papvcvh72j8w/wish/268644528 How neurons work dani86designer https://padlet.com/dani86designer/papvcvh72j8w/wish/268645353 A single neuron cannot function on its own and the nervous system depends on the group of neurons that work together.
This is a clear example:]]> 2018-06-26 20:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/dani86designer/papvcvh72j8w/wish/268645353 Neurotransmitters dani86designer https://padlet.com/dani86designer/papvcvh72j8w/wish/268646838 Neurotransmitters are often referred to as the body’s chemical messengers. They are the molecules used by the nervous system to transmit messages between neurons, or from neurons to muscles.
Communication between two neurons happens in the synaptic cleft (the small gap between the synapses of neurons). Here, electrical signals that have travelled along the axon are briefly converted into chemical ones through the release of neurotransmitters, causing a specific response in the receiving neuron.
A neurotransmitter influences a neuron in one of three ways: excitatory, inhibitory or modulatory.
