Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a technique used in the treatment of severe depression, involving passing electric currents through the brain to induce controlled seizures. While generally safe and effective, ECT can cause temporary memory loss and some neuronal damage, particularly if used in high doses or for an extended period.

Neuroscientists have studied its very large neurons?
Neuroscientists have studied the very large neurons in the brain, such as pyramidal neurons found in the cerebral cortex. These neurons play essential roles in functions like higher cognitive processes and motor control, making them a focus of research to understand brain functions better. By studying these neurons, researchers can gain insights into how information is processed and transmitted in the brain.
What type of technique is referred to as clamping?
The patch clamp technique is a laboratory technique in electrophysiology that allows the study of single or multiple ion channels in cells. The technique can be applied to a wide variety of cells, but is especially useful in the study of excitable cells such as neurons, cardiomyocytes, muscle fibers and pancreatic beta cells.
Sensory neurons are also known as?
Afferent Neurons
What are neurons that carry information between sensory neurons and motor neurons?
Interneurons or association neurons.
What are the neurons that serve as links between sensory neurons and motor neurons?
interneuron
What technique of studying the brain involves recording the electrical activity of large groups of cortical neurons?
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a technique used to record the electrical activity of large groups of cortical neurons in the brain. EEG measures the electrical signals produced by the brain's activity through electrodes placed on the scalp, providing insights into brain wave patterns and functions during different cognitive tasks or states.
Which brain imaging technique records the oscillations of the brain's neurons?
EEGs

Do neurons in your brain actually touch each other when receiving messages?
no. they do not.

ARE Neuroglial cells larger than neurons?
Actually not, much smaller, in fact.
What are the differences between preganglionic and postganglionic neurons?
You have a really good question. Studying the nervous system can be overwhelming and quit confusing. Preganglionic Neurons come from the CNS to the Ganglion ( mass of neuron cell bodies and dendrites) and Postganglionic neurons leave the ganglion and head toward the effector organ ( smooth muscle, glands, etc..).
What are neurons called that detect stimuli in the skin and eye?
sensory neurons
Are neurons that relay impulses from sensory neurons to motor neurons?
Sensory Neurons
Sensory neorons and neurons are connected by-?
Sensory neurons and neurons are connected by Interneurons.
Sensory neurons are also known as?
Afferent Neurons
What are neurons that carry information between sensory neurons and motor neurons?
Interneurons or association neurons.
