Las neuronas son células

The video explains how neurons produce and transmit electrical signals, which are crucial for brain functions. Neurons communicate through synapses, where electrical signals are converted into chemicals to propagate impulses. Synapse consolidation enhances transmission efficiency. Neuronal plasticity allows for flexible connections, essential for brain functions.

What is the primary function of neurons in the brain?

• To store memories

• To digest food

• To produce and transmit electrical signals

• To regulate body temperature

How do neurons establish connections with each other?

• By merging together

• By developing long projections

• By forming chemical bonds

• By sharing electrical signals directly

What is the role of a synapse in neural communication?

• To store electrical signals

• To convert electrical signals into chemical signals

• To amplify electrical signals

• To block signal transmission

What happens as a synapse consolidates?

• The synapse disappears

• The connection weakens

• The projections are lost

• Transmission becomes easier and faster

What is neural plasticity?

• The method of signal blocking

• The process of signal amplification

• The capacity to change connections with flexibility

• The ability to store memories
