Understanding Neuronal Function and the Neural Impulse: A Guide to the
Anatomy, Conduction, and Neurotransmission Process
Create a 2- to 3-page illustrated brochure for a neurological research center that educates patients
and visitors about the following key concepts:
1. The anatomy of a neuron, including the structure and function of the cell body (soma),
axon, and dendrites.
2. A detailed description of a neural impulse and how it is conducted along neurons.
3. The stages of neural conduction and how nerve impulses are propagated.
4. The function of the primary neurotransmitters involved in signal transmission.
5. An example of a physically painful experience, such as neuropathic pain, and how the
neural conduction process differs under normal circumstances and when influenced by
opiate drugs.
Be sure to include at least two to three peer-reviewed sources to support your information.
Format your brochure consistent with APA guidelines.
