Neuron Links:

• A fun and fairly easy to understand lesson on neurons
• An answer to the question, "How do nerve cells communicate?" with a nice graphic of a neuron (part of the Society for Neuroscience Web site)
• Neuron structure and function (including an animation of an action potential)
• A quiz on the structure of the neuron
• An image-mapped tutorial on neurons--fairly complete
• Pictures: Neuron forming a chemical synapse
• A java applet that simulates the information processing of a neuron.
• Video: How mercury causes neuron degeneration (note: requires Quicktime © 4.1 or later). This video is frustratingly slow to load.
• The Use of Medications for Treating Depression as described by the Depression Center at the University of Michigan
