AB  - INFORMATION  IS  CARRIED  WITHIN  neurons  and  from  neurons  to  their  target  cells  by  electrical  and  chemical  signals.  Transient  electrical  signals  are  particularly  important  for  carrying  time-sensitive  information  rapidly  and  over  long  distances.  These  transient  electrical  signals—receptor  potentials,  synaptic  potentials,  and  action  potentials—are  all  produced  by  temporary  changes  in  the  electric  current  into  and  out  of  the  cell,  changes  that  drive  the  electrical  potential  across  the  cell  membrane  away  from  its  resting  value.  This  current  represents  the  flow  of  negative  and  positive  ions  through  ion  channels  in  the  cell  membrane.
