This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Breedlove, • Neurons are cells specialized to process information. Neuronal extensions called dendrites receive information, usually from other neurons, and an extension called an axon sends information to other cells. 2 • Neurons communicate with each other when an axon releases small amounts of chemicals called neurotransmitters onto another cell at a specialized site called a synapse. The axon terminal stores neurotransmitter in small, spherical vesicles., • There are many neurotransmitters, each affecting a different type of receptor, and each involved in many different behaviors. 6 • Motor neurons send commands to make muscles move, using acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter., • Neurons communicate with each other when an axon releases small amounts of chemicals called neurotransmitters onto another cell at a specialized site called a synapse. The axon terminal stores neurotransmitter in small, spherical vesicles. 3 • The neurotransmitter crosses the synaptic cleft but does not enter the receiving cell. Rather, the neurotransmitter affects that cell by interacting with neurotransmitter receptors on the cell’s surface., • Neurons are cells specialized to process information. Neuronal extensions called dendrites receive information, usually from other neurons, and an extension called an axon sends information to other cells. 4 • There are many neurotransmitters, each affecting a different type of receptor, and each involved in many different behaviors., • There are many neurotransmitters, each affecting a different type of receptor, and each involved in many different behaviors. 5 • Sensory neurons detect information about the external and internal environment and send that information to the brain, usually using glutamate as a neurotransmitter., • There are many neurotransmitters, each affecting a different type of receptor, and each involved in many different behaviors. 7 • The vast majority of neurons in the brain are interneurons, communicating exclusively with other neurons, using a wide variety of neurotransmitters., • Neurons are cells specialized to process information. Neuronal extensions called dendrites receive information, usually from other neurons, and an extension called an axon sends information to other cells. 8 • While simple, automatic behaviors such as reflexes may involve only a few interneurons, all complex behavior results from the interaction of billions of interneurons forming neural networks in the brain., CNS microarchitecture and function 1 • Neurons are cells specialized to process information.
