2. * We are social primates, we live in communities
* Our brains are wired to help others.
* When we do something for someone else we feel good as
the neurotransmitters of pleasure and comfort are released.
These neurotransmitters include endorphins and dopamine.
* Random acts of Kindness

3. The Neuron

5. * Neurons communicate through both chemical and electrical
signals.
* Electrical (ion exchange) through the neuron
* Chemical (neurotransmitters) between the neurons or other
cells.
* Neurons communicate with
* Other neurons
* Glands
* Muscles

11. Glial Cells

13. *Hint: There are going to be some
changes made.
*What does a neuron look like?
*How can a neuron change?
*What do the changes allow for neurons
to do?

14. Neurons work together to form perceptions
Neurons connect with each other and make networks of “experience.”
Trees make forests…
neurons do too!

16. * Central nervous system: The Brain and Spinal cord (center of
the body) used for transport of information (spinal cord/super
highway) and all processing of sensory information (the brain.)
* Peripheral nervous system: The sensory and motor nerves that
receive and respond to signals from the environment and the
brain.

19. *Sensory neurons: specialized neurons (cells)
that detect wave energy or molecules: these
include the five senses and their
combinations.
*Motor neurons: These are designed to move
muscles or stimulate glands.

22. *Somatic
*Autonomic
