Mechanisms of Nerve Impulse Transmission and their Role in Nervous System Diseases

Nerve impulse transmission is a fundamental process by which the nervous system communicates and reacts to internal and external stimuli. This intricate system relies on various elements, including ion channels, neurotransmitters, and myelin sheaths. Dysfunctions in these processes can lead to significant health challenges, including neurological disorders such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis. This article explores the mechanisms underlying nerve impulse transmission and examines how disruptions in these mechanisms contribute to the development and progression of neurological diseases.
