Abstract

[Extract] Neurophysiology is all about how the nervous system communicates information. The nervous system is the master controller of bodily functions. The basic functional unit is the neuron and the neurons communicate within themselves and from one neuron to another to allow us to move, to think, to breathe, to read, to remember and to learn. So how do neurons and the nervous system do all of this? This book is intended to help you understand the broad overview of how the nervous system works.
