Neurons Made Breezy by The Neuron Nerds Lyrics
[Chorus]
The neuron! is a really easy thing
The neuron! makes you laugh and dance and sing
It has 4 parts, and they’re easy to learn-
It's really super simple there’s no need for concern
Join us and you’ll find out
The neuron and What it’s about`
[verse 1]
Let’s start! at the very tippy top
The dendrites! are the first stop
They take the input, from a neuron chemically
And bind it, to make it electricity
[verse 2]
Once there’s, enough built up energy
Action, potential’s what we see (yeah!)
Now it's time, to send it down the line!
Lets go to the axon, and see what we find
[verse 3]
In the axon, there’s a negative charge
But the outside, is positive at large
The out wants in, the in wants out
But their roads are closed till energy’s about
Now we see, the energy
It opens the channels and the ions go free!
There’s imbalance in a node, and it flows
Under the myelin sheath to the next node……
[Chorus]
The neuron! is a really easy thing
The neuron! makes you laugh and dance and sing
It has four parts, and they’re easy to learn-
It's really super simple there’s no need for concern
Join us and you’ll find out
The neuron and What it’s about
[verse 4]
After, moving through the axon
The terminal, is what we focus on
The action potential has arrived
And the protein channels open wide
They send ions, to the proteins
Who bind vesicles and membranes between
The vesicles, holding neurotransmitters
Release them, to go somewhere better
Now they’re floating, in the synapse
To get picked up, by another dendrite’s gaps
The cycle repeats, it's easy you see
One last time won't you sing it with me…….?
[closing]
(slowed+chorus)
The neuron! was a really easy thing
The neuron! makes you laugh and dance and sing
It had four parts, and they were easy to learn-
It was really super simple, no need for concern
You joined us and you found out
The neuron and What it’s all about
The neuron! is a really easy thing
The neuron! makes you laugh and dance and sing
It has 4 parts, and they’re easy to learn-
It's really super simple there’s no need for concern
Join us and you’ll find out
