Some of these excite the neuron, pushing it closer to firing, while others calm it down.\u00a0\u00a0 Read more about “Testing the Fluorescent Proteins That Light Up the Brain<\/a>“.

The signals travel up and down the long tendrils, called dendrites, extending out from each point of a neuron\u2019s star-shaped body.
