The politics of identity is a kind of cultural politics. It relies on the development of a culture that is able to create new and affirmative conceptions of the self, to articulate collective identities, and to forge a sense of group loyalty.
Neurons transmit electrical impulses by allowing the passage of charged ions across their membranes in response to stimuli, changing the charge of the neuron in a process that propagates through the axon of the neuron. Normally, neurons maintain an internal negative charge relative to their environment by excluding sodium ions from their cytoplasm.
The neuron (nerve cell) is the fundamental unit of the nervous system. The basic purpose of a neuron is to receive incoming information and, based upon that information, send a signal to other neurons, muscles, or glands.Neurons are designed to rapidly send signals across physiologically long distances.They do this using electrical signals called nerve impulses or action potentials.When a nerve impulse reaches the end of a neuron, it triggers the release of a chemical, or neurotransmitter. The neurotransmitter travels rapidly across the short gap between cells (the synapse) and acts to signal the adjacent cell.hey do this using electrical signals called nerve impulses or action potentials.
