Axons and dendrites can conduct electrical signals, and connections between axons and dendrites can exhibit different degrees of conductivity (controlled by neuromediators). +From biology, we know that our brain consists of neural cells (neurons), each of them having multiple "inputs" (dendrites) and a single "output" (axon). Both dendrites and axons can conduct electrical signals, and the connections between them — known as synapses — can exhibit varying degrees of conductivity, which are regulated by neurotransmitters. ![Model of a Neuron](images/synapse-wikipedia.jpg) | ![Model of a Neuron](images/artneuron.png) ----|----
