The action potential generated through a threshold or suprathreshold stimulus on a neuron.

<h3>Where is the action potential generated?</h3>

The action potential (AP) originates thanks to a disturbance of the resting state of the cell membrane, with consequent flow of ions through the membrane and alteration of the ionic concentration in the intra and extracellular environments.

In this case, is a rapid change in the electrical potential of neuron membranes.

An overly simplistic way to describe the brain is that the left side is the "_____" side, and the right side is the "_____" side

tamaranim1 [39]

<span>Our brain is divided into two halves, as most of us know: the left and right side. Each side processes information very differently than the other, and the biggest difference is the visual aspect. The right side of the brain looks at visual reference as a whole, whether it be a landscape, object, or piece of artwork, and then works its way into noticing finer details. The left side on the other hand, first sees the details and puts them together to form the bigger picture. In simple brain is that the left side is the "Organization and logic" side and right side is the "Visual reference " side.</span>

vredina [299]

The table given in the figure below reflects the data being referred to (from the book: <em>Campbell Biology Australian and New Zealand Edition </em>by Reece, et al. (2014)).
The number 22,877 of the gene that encodes the first protein with the protein ID 298599 indicates that the amount of the RNA transcript of this gene made in the mycorrhizal parts of the fungus was 22,877 times higher when they were associated with the Douglas fir compared to those made in soil mycelium away from the root of the plants.
