Synapse: Where Memory Forms

Follow one signal as it enters a neuron, becomes a spike, crosses a synapse, and strengthens a pathway into memory.

Signal route · 1/5

From the dendrites to the synapse, see it as a journey of the signal

A neuron has branches that receive input, a soma that decides, an axon that sends far, and a synapse that passes to the next. First read it as the route the signal travels, not as part names.

In the "See the shape" stage, without adding controls, confirm the order of the soma, axon, terminal, and synapse.

The current questionSee the shape
Can this input cross the threshold?Input → stopped at the soma / Stopped at the soma

Where it is moving now: Input → stopped at the soma / Stopped at the soma

Center the soma and axon hillock that receive input and head toward firing.
