What is the job of a neuron?
send signals to each other
What are the zones of in a neuron
Input
Integration
Conduction
Output
What happens in the input zone?
dendrites receive signals and turn them from chemical to electrical
What does the integration zone do?
the soma integrates information, determining if and when to send it
What does the conduction zone do?
sends information from the dendrite down the axon
What does the output zone do?
The axon terminals send the info to the next neuron
