Using the power of 3D animation, in this video students enter the mysterious world of the neuron where human cells and electrical impulses work together to produce a system of unprecedented complexity. The video describes the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system as well as the major structures of the brain such as the cerebral cortex, the cerebellum, the brain stem and others. The fascinating microanatomy of the neuron is explored and the intricate way neurotransmitters send messages from our brains throughout the body is graphically illustrated.--Ministry of Education website.
