The neuron

The neuron consists of dendrites, a soma (cell body) and an axon. Axons are long fibers connecting neurons to one another. An axon hillock is a place where an action potential should be at a certain threshold to cause some sort of signal. An action potential is a signal that travels along the

Neuropsychological assessment is done by history taking (interviewing parents and teachers), doing observations (How is the child

Electricity and brain stimulation

Electricity is the basis of neural and muscular functioning. It’s how neurons communicate with one another and messages are being sent by electricity. These signals in the brain can be measured invasively (from inside the brain) or from the outside, like from the scalp. Neural signals can be influenced by excitation, inhibition
