Summary Introduction

To review:

The integration of information by neurons, received from many other neurons.

Introduction:

Every stimulus is received by the sensory neurons and is converted into the electric signals. The electric signals are transferred from one neuron to another in the form of the action potentials. The sensory neurons receive the stimulus and transmit it to the brain, which then translates the information and send the signals to the motor neurons. The signals are send by two mechanisms that are, chemical signals and the electrical signals.
