The BIG question: how does a bunch of cells give rise to thinking?

Neurons and neural transmission

Label this neuron

Neuronal transmission Neurons produce APs at varying frequencies. The firing rate of one neuron influences the firing rates of this that receive connections from it.

Sequencing As a group: One the cards are a set of steps that, together, describe the the action potential and the process of neural transmission. Assemble the correct sequence of events. Individually: Write an account of the process. Challenge: from memory.

Socrative quiz

Analogies An action potential is like a ‘Mexican wave’ because… An action potential is like toppling dominos because...

Reflection What has happened/what have you learned? What does it make you think/feel? What are you going to do?
