      Brain. An Introduction for Young Students by The British Neuroscience Association (BNA) and
      European Dana Alliance for the Brain (EDAB). They then complete an on-line quiz in their
      schools under exam conditions to determine their knowledge and understanding of the
      structure and function of the brain 14 - 20 March 2016

      • 1st Question "What happens after axon"
        • ⋯   Action potentials are transmitted along axons to
          specialised regions called synapses, where the axons
          contact the dendrites of other neurons. These consist of
          a presynaptic nerve ending, separated by a small gap from
          the postsynaptic component which is often located on a
          dendritic spine. The electrical currents responsible for the
          propagation of the action potential along axons cannot
          bridge the synaptic gap. Transmission across this gap is
          accomplished by chemical messengers called
          neurotransmitters
