Starting with a simple model of the neuron as an electrical circuit, gradually more details are added to include the effects of neuronal morphology, synapses, ion channels and intracellular signaling.
To further complicate the picture, spine morphology is intrinsically fluctuating ... elementary chemical interface at the intersection of neural circuitry and intracellular signal transduction ...
Neuronal physiology refers to the biology of ... of the mammalian central nervous system exhibit pearls-on-a-string morphology through their entire length.
