synapse
A neuron lies in wait, negative sixty millivolts.
Resting Potential.
...............waiting for the senses to strike, a stimulus to pounce upon
a Scent, a Sound, a Memory to trigger the chase.
Stimulus Sensed. Ions flood the neural cell, postive 50 millivolts.
Action Potential.
The chase begins. Electricity races along at the speed of light carrying information . Chasing a rational thought, an explanation, UNDERSTANDING.
The Circuit Ends.
At the synaptic gap, charge opens the chemical gate. Dopamine, acetylcholine, seratonin, spanning the gap, triggering another waiting neuron. The chase continues through the cerebral maze on and on until finally charge reaches UNDERSTANDING.
