This slide show includes the basics of neurons. There are great pictures along with easy reading to gain all the knowledge needed on their electrical activity. There are also short videos throughout the slide show.
You can browse the site by topic, level of explanation (beginner, intermediate, & advanced), level of organization (cellular, molecular, neurological, psychological, & social), module, or guided tour. The site already contains over 70 presentations on the brain (and it is still under development)! To give a sampling, the topics include: neurons, neural transmission, glial cells, memory, long-term...

This animation shows how in mammals, the controlling clock component that generates a 24-hour rhythm is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), located in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The SCN produces a signal that can keep the rest of the body on an approximately 24-hour schedule. This animation illustrates the location of the SCN in the human brain. There is also additional reading...
