The chemicals diffuse across the synapse and trigger an electrical impulse in the next neuron in the circuit. The electrical impulse reaches the end of the sensory neuron. Chemicals are released that ...

One of the greatest, relatively underappreciated, discoveries in all of science was the discovery of the nerve impulse in the 1930s by the British Lord Adrian. Adrian did win a Nobel Prize for his ...

The original nerve impulse findings were that the rate of impulse firing governed the impact on neuronal targets, whether they be muscle or other neurons. Various labs, including my own, in the 1980s, ...
