Episode 25: The Neuroscience of ... Neurons Firing?

Apologies for the absolute chaos that is this episode.

Today I wanted to cover some foundational background concepts, including how a signal travel within a neuron from dendrites to the tip of the axon and how that neuron then communicates to other neurons and parts of the body.

Curious? Come and listen to find out more!!!
