Neurogenesis is the creation of new neurons. The more active a particular brain cell is, the more connections it develops with its neighboring neurons through a process called dendritic sprouting. A single neuron can have up to thirty thousand such connections, creating a dense web of interconnected activity throughout the brain. Each neuron can then be stimulated directly through experience (real or imagined) or indirectly through these connections from its neighbors, which saves the cell from cell death. Physical exercise boosts the brain's rate of neurogenesis throughout life, while mental exercise increases the rate at which those new brain cells survive and make functional connections into existing neural networks. Both physical exercise and the challenge from mental exercise increase the secretion of nerve growth factor, which helps neurons grow and stay healthy. Neurogenesis is the creation of new neurons.

What is the route followed by nerve impulses when one neuron communicates with another?

When one neuron communicates with another, the nerve impulse travels down the axon of the presynaptic neuron, reaches the axon terminal, triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron's dendrites, initiating a new nerve impulse in the postsynaptic neuron.


How do action potentials move from one neuron to another?

The action potential stimulates the axon terminal to release its neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitters attach themselves to the dendrote of the next neuron, so that it will open its NA+ channels.


A nerve impulse travels from one cell to another by passing from?

A nerve impulse travels from one cell to another by passing from the axon of one neuron to the dendrite of another neuron at a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, initiating a new electrical signal in the receiving cell.


If an impulse down one neuron but failed to move on to the next neuron what is wrong with the first neuron?

It is possible that nothing is wrong with the first neuron and that the second neuron has been desensitized, or if it is the first neuron then vesicles are not fusing with the membrane and releasing neurotransmitters. This could be because a toxin has damaged the proteins that control vesicle integration, or because the calcium channels have been blocked, or in the lab setting the terminal may have run out of neurotransmitter.


What is the opening across which one neuron communicates with another neuron known as?

The opening across which one neuron communicates with another neuron is called a synapse. At the synapse, chemical signals called neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron, which then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron to transmit the signal.

What effect do neurotransmitter from one neuron have on the next neuron?

The neurotransmitters from one neuron have direct effect on the next neuron. They are channels that are used to transmit messages in the nerves.
