Communication occurs within and between neurons in very specific ways that allows the information to be held to the standard of independence of identical signals stated in the neural doctrine (The hypothesis that the brain is composed of separate cells that are distinct structurally, metabolically, and functionally). For example, sodium is used to depolarize the cell in both the dendrites and the axon, but the channels are gated by different mechanisms that confer unique, functional responses. Using the example just given, explain how you understand the neural doctrine and the necessity of create these different types of signals. How is this process replicated in neural circuits, where hundreds of neurons are making contacts and all signaling with action potentials?
