Welcome to Science With Tal!

In this video, we will go over some concepts of short term plasticity (PPF & PPD) as well as the binomial model of the synapse.

This conversation on neurons in the CNS derives from important concepts that are described in two previous full discussions:

1 To watch the first part (Signal propagation in the Neuron), make sure to go to:    • Signal Propagation In The Neuron (Neu...  

2 To watch the second (The Neuromuscular Junction as the model of the chemical synapse) make sure to go to:    • Neuromuscular Junction As The Model F...  

To improve the quality of my content, I highly value the feedback from the viewer so do not hesitate to give any feedback in the comment section.
