The cells within the brain and the nervous system, which are responsible for receiving sensory information from the outside world and sending motor commands to the muscles, are known as neurons. They comprise of a cell body, an axon and dendrites. The process of signaling between the neurons is both electrical and chemical in nature. Neurons are electrically excitable and can communicate with other cells through connections known as synapses. There are also voltage gradients across their membranes. These allow them to generate an electrochemical pulse if the voltage changes significantly over a short interval. These electrochemical pulses are known as action potential. They are broadly categorized into sodium-based action potentials and calcium-based action potentials. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of neurology and neuroscience. It is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex researches on neuronal signaling. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
