7. Action Potentials are the neurons output. Action potentials also known as spikes.
These spikes are:
Binary (digital) representation of the neuronal information; each spike is either "all" ("1") or
"none" ("0")
Analog representation of the neuronal information larger spikes are capable to transmit
more information.
Although very important, we find them in very few nerve cells
Important energy source for the cells
9. The neuron doctrine based on the work of Ramon y Cajal is a theory suggesting:
The nervous system is constructed from discrete individual cells neurons
The signal between cells passes through chemical synapses
Memories are created and saved in the brain
Action potentials are generated due to the opening of membrane ion channels
10. Choose the answer that corresponds to the correct order of values in A,B,C & D.
A) Number of neurons in the brain
B) Number of axons initial segments per neuron
C) Number of synapses per one neuron
D) Number of boutons (varicosities) per axon

12. Select the answer with the correct order of terms that match the spaces in the sentence
below.
The _____ connects the ____ of a pre-synaptic neuron with the _____ of the post-synaptic
neuron.
An action potential in the pre-synaptic cell triggers release of _____ containing ______ that
spreads into the synaptic gap.
______ in the post-synaptic cell recognize transmitter molecules and this may results in
voltage change (the post synaptic potential).

We can stimulate the brain for treatment of Parkinson's - A disease related to an erroneous
activity in the basal ganglia (an deep region in our brain)
We are creating a computer inspired by real neurons
We developed treatment for multiple sclerosis - A disease caused by a damage to the
axonal myelin
We can simulate in the computer a whole cortical column consisting of 10,000 neurons
