Electroencephalography (EEG)
Bioelectric potentials generated by the neuronal
activity of the brain is called electroencephalogram.
The EEG has a very complex pattern.
The waveform varies greatly with the location of the
measuring electrodes on the surface of the scalp.
Frequency of the EEG seems to be affected by the
mental activity of a person.
Exact analysis is very difficulty.
Special cases like sleep, epileptic seizures can be
analyzed

Neuronal Communication
The basic unit of the nervous system is the
neuron.
It is a single cell with a cell body called soma, one
or more input fibers called dendrites, and long
transmitting fiber called the axon.
Axon branches near its ending into two or more
terminals.
The portion of the axon immediately adjacent to
the cell body is called the axon hillock
This is the point at which action potentials are
usually generated

Neuronal Communication
Both axons and dendrites are called nerve fibers
A bundle of individual nerve fibers is called a
nerve.
Nerves that carry sensory information from the
various parts of the body to the brain are called
afferent nerves.
Those that carry signals from the brain to operate
various muscles are called efferent nerves.

Neuronal Communication
In neurons, action potentials are of very short
duration and are often called neuronal spikes
of spike discharges.
Information is usually transmitted in the form
of spike discharge patterns
These patterns are simply the sequences of
spikes that are transmitted down a particular
neuronal pathway.

Neuronal Communication
When an action potential is initiated in the
neuron, usually at the cell body or axon
hillock, it is propagated down the axon
terminals where it can be transmitted to other
neurons.
