neural plasticity - neurons can alter their:
- dendrite-to-dendrite connections
- axon-to-dendrite connections
- axon-to-axon connections
- neurotransmitter receptor density
This allows for the brain to change the way that different neural networks interconnect, and it also allows regulation and modulation of neural signals so that the "weights" between neurons are changed to remodulate those signals.
Diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, ALS, and multiple sclerosis, can also result in demyelination, which results in signal loss along axons.
What else can I help you with?
What system controls the body's response to change in its internal and external enviorment?
Motor neurons of the nervous system are what innervate muscles and glands.
What organ system does the brain belong too?
The nervous system The central nervous system
Do drugs that affect the nervous system change moods and feelings?
yes it can.
Does the central nervous system consist of the somatic nervous system?
No. Nervous System is comprised of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) The PNS is comprised of the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System The Autonomic Nervous System is comprised of the Sympathetic Nervous System, the Parasympathetic Nervous System and the Enteric Nervous System
What comprises the nervous system?
The Sympathetic Nervous System and the Parasympathetic Nervous System
The portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system?
The peripheral nervous system is the portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system. It consists of nerves that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body, including sensory and motor neurons. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for transmitting information to and from the central nervous system.
The cranial and spinal nerves form what nervous system?
the peripheral nervous system
When baroreceptors sense a change in pressure is the autonomic nervous system activated?
YES
The somatic nervous system is a component of what nervous system?
The somatic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system. This system is responsible for voluntary movements and sensory information.
Is autonmic nervous system apart of the peripheral or central nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system is a division of the central nervous system.
What are two main jobs of the nervous system?
The nervous system takes in sensory information from the peripheral nervous system. This information is then directed to the central nervous system which then responds with a motor reaction that travels back to the peripheral nervous system.
What nervous system innervates cardiac and smooth muscles and glands?
They are controlled by the autonomous nervous system.== ==
