Neurons, like all cells, maintain different concentrations of certain ions across their cell membranes. Imagine the case of a boat with a small leak below the water line. ... Neurons do the same thing, but they pump out positively charged sodium ions. In addition, they pump in positively charged potassium ions (potash to...

This page describes how neurons work. I hope this explanation does not get too complicated, but it is important to understand how neurons do what they do. There are many details, but go slow and look at the figures.

This powerful animation clip shows how neurons work. The more we visualize these biological reactions the more we begin to understand the complexity of biological systems. Hopefully there will be more of these sort of biological animations in future and these will be incorporated into our education system...

The work takes advantage of a gene called halorhodopsin found in a bacterium that grows in extremely salty water, such as the Great Salt Lake in Utah. In the bacterium, Natronomas pharaonis, the gene codes for a protein that serves as a light-activated ... When neurons are engineered to express the halorhodopsin gene,
