Summary Introduction

Introduction: The brain receives sensory input from the external and internal environments. It processes and integrates the information, and if the information is appropriate, a response is created.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason for considering that neurons are hyperpolarized.

Introduction: Neuron cells always possess an electrical charge across their membranes. A polarized neuron is always said to be its resting potential, and it becomes depolarized when the charges of the nerves are reversed.
