Using this technique Santiago Ramón y Cajal found that the nervous system is composed of cells (Golgi never accepted this). Who first discovered neuron?

Why Would You Expect To Have Different Sizes Of Receptive Fields?

Why Would You Expect To Have Different Sizes Of Receptive Fields? The receptive field size of neurons in primary visual cortex depends strongly on the stimulus contrast. The size can be more than two times larger when measured with low contrast stimuli than when measured with high contrast stimuli. Why do we get larger and

How Messages Travel In The Nervous System?

How Messages Travel In The Nervous System? Messages travel along a single neuron as electrical impulses, but messages between neurons travel differently. The transfer of information from neuron to neuron takes place through the release of chemical substances into the space between the axon and the dendrites. How does messages travel to and from the
