    Functioning The connection between neurons is essential for neurological function. Interaction between two neurons is called the synapse. In order for the synapse to operate, an action potential must first happen. If one does not work, then the whole neurological function will not, which will eventually lead to humans not working at all as a whole. This paper will look into the two following subjects in Neurological Functioning: 1. Action Potential 2. The Synapse Understanding the roles of the action

    According to the book, “neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transfer signals across the synapse”(pg48). The synapse is a junction between two neurons where the axon bulb of a neuron focused receptor sites into other neurons. According to Eroglu & Barres, We have a large number of synapses; the current estimates are more than 100 trillion synapses in the human brain . There is a neural structure in the brain that is complex, therefore synapses occur at several places along a neuron (dendrites

    The field of cognitive neuroscience seeks to understand the processes underlying cognition and neural connections. One major subfield of neuroscience utilizes electrophysiological properties of the brain to record neural activity through electrodes on the scalp (EEG). Furthermore, the analysis of the signal to noise ratios leads to event related potentials (ERPs). These event related potentials measure the brain’s response to specific cognitive events. Also through previous research ERP’s have been
