- Facilitative synapses add electrical charge moving a neuron closer to its firing threshold, while inhibitory synapses subtract charge moving it further away. — Brain Signaling, Stability, Depression, and Pain
- A neuron's firing decision depends on summation — the total combined effect of all incoming inputs. — Brain Signaling, Stability, Depression, and Pain
- Body signals are not interpreted in isolation; a brain cell's response is determined by the state of the surrounding network. — Brain Signaling, Stability, Depression, and Pain
- Other neurons can raise or lower the probability that a given incoming signal is perceived. — Brain Signaling, Stability, Depression, and Pain
