In this chapter we examine the nervous system and see how the concepts of action potentials and their propagation come together to regulate the body and provide for conscious and voluntary action. We will see that through the summation of many action potentials we can achieve the complexity of computing seen of the brain. Finally we examine how we can measure the function of the brain through electrical and metabolic changes.

摘要

In this chapter we examine the nervous system and see how the concepts of action potentials and their propagation come together to regulate the body and provide for conscious and voluntary action. We will see that through the summation of many action potentials we can achieve the complexity of computing seen of the brain. Finally we examine how we can measure the function of the brain through electrical and metabolic changes.
