How are brain impulses transmitted when seizure activity occurs?
During seizure activity, abnormal electrical impulses in the brain cause excessive, uncontrolled firing of neurons. This leads to a cascade of hyperexcitability spreading through the brain, resulting in seizures. The transmission of these electrical impulses can disrupt normal brain function and cause the characteristic symptoms of a seizure.
What are neurons that carry impulses?
Neurons that carry impulses are called motor neurons. These neurons transmit signals from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands, directing them to take action in response to stimuli.
What is the difference between neurons and neuroglia?
Neurons conduct electrical impulses in the brain. Neuroglia are cells that support the neurons. These cells undergo mitosis where neurons do not. Brain tumors are formed from neuroglia cells because they mitosis.
What neuron moves the impulses to the brain?
The brain is the control, and the whole reaction of a reflex arc starts with a stimulus, ie, touching a hot flame, the detector of this stimulus being the receptor. The electrical impulses travel through the sensory neuron to which it is then carried to the synapse (impulses reach the brain) the energy is then transferred across the synapse, to the relay neuron and then to the motor neuron, finally reaching the effector, (mainly muscle or gland) to move away the body part.
What carry messages from brain to body and back again?
The nervous system carries messages between the brain and the body. This is done through a network of neurons that transmit electrical and chemical signals. Sensory neurons carry messages from the body to the brain, while motor neurons carry messages from the brain to the body to control movement and response.
How do the neurons sent messages to the brain?
electrical impulses
What condition involves abnormal electrical impulses of the brain?
Seizures involve abnormal electrical impulses of the brain. There are likely other conditions related to abnormal electrical impulses. For instance, people who get migraines often show abnormalities on EEG as well.

Which type of tissue carries electrical impulses from your brain?
Nervous tissue, specifically neurons, carry electrical impulses from the brain to other parts of the body. These neurons transmit information in the form of electrical signals known as action potentials.
Neurons that move impulses from the brain?
Motor Neurons
What neurons that move impulses from the brain?
MOTOR neurons
What causes convulsions?
Convulsions/seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. For a bit of background, the brain is part of the central nervous system, which controls and 'instructs' the body on what to do. The brain sends these instructions out using electrical impulses and signals. If the brain becomes confused, for whatever reason, the electrical impulses may begin to send abnormal impulses to the wrong places and via the incorrect neurons. This causes the body to get confused and results in abnormal twitching and convulsing. People with a medical condition called epilepsy have an abnormal brain electrical activity giving rise to epileptic seizures. Seizures/convulsions can also be caused by a brain tumour or another nervous system disorder. It is vital every seizure is reported to your medical practitioner. If the seizure last for longer than normal, or if it is your first seizure, seek urgent medical assistance or phone for an emergency ambulance.
What is the source of the electrical energy in the brain?
The source of electrical energy in the brain is the movement of ions, such as sodium and potassium, across the cell membranes of neurons. This creates electrical impulses that allow for communication between brain cells.
What are neurons that change light into electrical impulses called?
Neurons that convert light into electrical impulses are called photoreceptor cells. These specialized cells are found in the retina of the eye and are responsible for detecting light and converting it into signals that the brain can interpret as visual information.
What sends impulses to the brain?
sensory neurons
What relays information between the brain and the eyes and ears?
Neurons and synapses relay information between the brain and eyes and ears. Neurons take in signals from your eyes and ears, and the electrical impulses are transferred to the brain to be processed into thought and sensation. The brain also sends impulses to the eyes and ears to make them function.
How are messages carries in neurons?
Neurons send electric impulses to your cells via the dendrites. The Axons carry the electrical impulses away from the cell. This process sends out signals to your brain for all of your body processes such as muscle movement.
