Threshold Potential
When threshold potential is met
Weak depolarization
Action Potential Amplitude (aka size)
Local Anasthetics
Propagation of Action Potentials
Propogation of action potentials is mostly unidirectional because
Myelin's effect on potentials
Saltatory Conduction
Postsynaptic Neuron
Excicatory input
Inhibiting Input
Temporal summations
Spatial Summation
The more complex our synapses are
Presynaptic factors on Synapse strength
Postsynaptic factors on synapse strength
