Document Summary
Typical corical neuron can have btwn 1-10,000 connecion with other neurons. Separate the mental processes of the mind from the physical processes of the brain as formalized by the 17th century scienists and philosopher. Dualist framework the mind was seen as a separate enity exising outside of out biology, yet in control of our acions and thoughts. The physical brain was thought to serve as a connecion between mind and body. In modern imes, challenge for neuroscience is to understand how the biological brain produces the mental processes of the mind. Cells of your body specialized for diferent funcions. Neurons fall into category of cells specialized for communicaion. Each neuron is organized into signaling pathways to communicate via synapic transmission. Recepive zone designed to receive signals from other neurons; made up of dendrites branching out from the cell body. Transmission zone passes on signals to other cells; axon and terminal boutons. Cell body contains most of the vital organelles.
