Neurons and synaptic transmission

What this note covers

1. Relate neuron structures to information transfer
2. Explain resting potential through ions and permeability
3. Describe threshold and the phases of an action potential
4. Explain propagation without moving one spike as an object
5. Trace chemical transmission across a synapse
6. Connect neural signalling to homeostatic responses
