The information each neuron processes determines how strong the action potential (electrical current) is within each neuron. An example of studying the electrical activity is by using temperature. The neurons which detect the temperature change are called sensory neurons. If you stimulate the neurons by leaving your fingertip in cold water for an adequate amount of time the electrical current within each neuron is increased as the temperature of your fingertip drops. The neurons within the fingertip sense the temperature drop and emit the electrical current, then the next neuron senses the temperature drop as the fingertip is held in the cold water and emits a stronger electrical current, the colder temperature in the next neuron as your finger is held in the water emits an even higher frequency and so on until the message arrives at the spinal cord and is then sent to the brain through the now very strong electrical current within the neurons informing it of the temperature decrease and then resulting in action outcome.

Why might there be discrepancies between the measured values of different blocks?
the blocks might not be the same size.
How is viscosity measured in units?
Viscosity is the measure of a fluids ability to flow, it is measured in pascal-seconds(this link might help)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity#Units
How does a coil of wire create a electrical current?
By itself, it won't. To have an electrical current, you need a voltage. This voltage might be applied externally, or it might be induced by movement of the wire through a magnetic field (or by a changing magnetic field).
Device used to convert electrical energy to sound energy?
i think, transducers and amplifiers might be used
What changes chemical or radiant energy into electrical energy?
I might be wrong on this one, but I believe it is either a cell or a photocell. A cell would be correct, a photocell converts light energy into electrical energy.
What is currnt measured in?
Electrical current is measured in amperes, or amps for short. Smaller currents might be measured in milliamps or microamps.
What is an EEG of the brain?
An EEG is an electroencephalogram which is a device that measures brain activity. If there any problems in the brain they can be seen on an EEG. The brain produces electrical impulses and there are different patterns of impulses. It is this different patterns that are measured with and EEG that can show doctors what might be wrong.
How might moisture be measured?
it is measured in ounces
How might mirror neurons play a part in observational learning?
Mirror neurons play a part in observational learning because these neurons use modeling as a form of learning. They fire neurons whether a person is performing an action or just observing it.
What is the unit for current?
Amperes. This is often shortened to Amps and is abbreviated as A.
What metric unit would you use to find the width of a poster?
This is usually measured in centimeters. Meters might also be used.This is usually measured in centimeters. Meters might also be used.This is usually measured in centimeters. Meters might also be used.This is usually measured in centimeters. Meters might also be used.
What does it mean when someone is brain dead?
brains produce measurable levels of electrical activity in specific patterns. If the brain is no longer working it no longer produces electrical activity in pattern and is considered "dead", as in no longer capable of thought.
How might you adapt an activity for a pupil who is signing?
It depends on the activity.
What are auxiliary storage devices measured in?
Depends on the size, but today they are usually measured in Gigabytes, although older devices might be measured in Megabytes.
Why are respiration measured as the pulse is being measured?
Because ones the person knows his or her respiration is being measured he or she might try to either breath faster or slower to meet expected result, but which might not be helpful to obtaining an accurate result..
Why are respirations measured as if the pulse is being measured?
Because ones the person knows his or her respiration is being measured he or she might try to either breath faster or slower to meet expected result, but which might not be helpful to obtaining an accurate result..
Is electrical a noun?
i think it might be.
