Pretest-posttest designs grew from the simpler posttest only designs, and address some of the issues arising with assignment bias and the allocation of participants to groups. One example is education, where researchers want to monitor the effect of a new teaching method upon groups of children.
The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is the site of communication between motor nerve axons and muscle fibres.It is composed of four specialised cell types: motor neurons, Schwann cells, muscle fibres and the recently discovered kranocytes.he neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is the site of communication between motor nerve axons and muscle fibres.
Neurons communicate at structures called synapses in a process called synaptic transmission. The synapse consists of the two neurons, one of which is sending information to the other. The sending neuron is known as the pre-synaptic neuron (i.e. before the synapse) while the receiving neuron is known as the post-synaptic neuron (i.e. after the synapse). Although the flow of information around the brain is achieved by electrical activity, communication between neurons is a chemical process.
