This video explains how neurons communicate using electrical signals within the nervous system. Students explore concepts such as resting potential, action potentials, depolarization, repolarization, voltage-gated ion channels, the sodium-potassium pump, myelin sheaths, and saltatory conduction while connecting neuron function to real-world reactions and sensory processing.
