Document Summary
Camillo golgi: looked at brain tissue using a model of soaking a section of the brain in silver nitrate, he observed that neurons compose and interconnected network, and he thought information. Santiago ram n y cajal: used golgi"s stain but studied chick embryos because he believed that they would be simpler. Subdivisions of the neutron: cell body (soma), dendrites, axon. Three types of neurons: sensory neurons: carry sensory information to the brain from sensory receptors. Bipolar neuron: carries afferent sensory info from the retina"s light receptors and carries visual information. has a single short dendrite on one side and a single short axon on the other. Somatosensory neuron: brings sensory information from the body to the spinal cord. the dendrite connects directly to its axon so the cell body is on one side: interneurons: associate sensory and motor activity to the nervous system. Extensive branches are used to make more connections.
