närviaktiivsust
Närviaktiivsust refers to the electrical and chemical signaling within the nervous system. This complex process allows for communication between neurons, the fundamental cells of the nervous system. When a neuron is stimulated, it generates an electrical impulse called an action potential. This electrical signal travels down the neuron's axon. At the end of the axon, at a junction called a synapse, the electrical signal triggers the release of chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters then diffuse across the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on the next neuron, initiating a new electrical or chemical signal in that neuron.
This continuous chain of electrical and chemical events underlies all nervous system functions, including thought, movement,
