LESSON 2 Explore/Explain Neurons, Brain Chemistry, and Neurotransmission Source: NIDA. 1996. The Brain & the Actions of Cocaine,1(a)150 -1.125 TD[(Opi At a Glance Overview Students learn that the neuron is the functional unit of the brain. To learn how neurons convey information, students analyze a sequence ofi(e)dq30(m)-enthat either stimuate or inhibit the then use the information they have gained to deduce how one neuon infuences the action of another. Major Concept Neuons convey information using electrical and chemical signals. Objectives By the end of these activities,-24(s)5(,-24(s)5(,-24(s 9f0 -)-24(s)ec4(s)ec4(1s20cb EMC /P </MCID 8 >BDC 2 TJT*[(a)11 • understand that synaptic transmission involves neurotransmitters that may be either excitatory or inhibitory. Basic Science–Health Connection Communication between neurons is the foundation for brain function. Understanding how neurotransmission occurs is crucial to understanding how the brain processes and integrates information. Interruption of neural communication causes changes in cognitive processes and behavior.
