Electrical signals are propagated by voltage-dependent channels
• A threshold depolarisation causes adjacent sodium channels to open– Signals move along axons >>>> DOMINO
The properties of single ion channels can be observed and manipulated using the patch-clamp method

Myelinated nerve cells have much faster rates of transmission

Inhibition1. Opening of chloride ion channels through the postsynaptic neuronal membrane. 2. Increase in conductance of potassium ions out of the neuron.3. Activation of receptor enzymes that inhibit cellular metabolic functions that increase the number of inhibitory synaptic receptors or decrease the number of excitatory receptors.
Excitation1. Opening of sodium channels 2. Depressed conduction through chloride or potassium channels, or both. 3. Various changes in the internal metabolism
of the postsynaptic neuron to excite cell activity or,
, , , increase the number of excitatory
membrane receptors or decrease the number of inhibitory
membrane receptors.
