How information travels in a neurons highest: background, atoms have nucleus that contain protons and neutrons and they can share electrons and stuff to make compounds, ex. An experiment to explain: you have a pan and a squid"s axon (covered in its own axon membrane, look at axon is selectively permeable) in the pan is extra-cellular fluid (containing na+ mainly) and in the, 3. 3 axon is intra-axon fluid (lots of negative ions, usually amino acids (aka amino acid-) sometimes that ion would be potassium (k+): the axon is selectively permeable (skin of the axon, blocks out the. Increase probability receiver neuron has ap: ex. Spontaneous activity receiver = 20ap/sec + neurotransmitter= 25 ap/sec: eg. Acetylcholrine (acl: neuron muscles, black widow spider, their venom has acl and this induces convulsions, eg. Curare- blowguns/ native: blocks acl, prevents muscle convulsions, too little acl will induce paralysis, eg.
