Neural firings refer to electrical impulses generated by neurons when they receive enough stimulation to reach their threshold. These electrical signals allow for communication between neurons and are the basis of information processing in the brain.

Action Potential: An action potential is a brief spike in electrical charge that occurs when a neuron reaches its threshold and fires.
Neuron: A neuron is a specialized cell found in the nervous system that transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.
Resting Potential: The resting potential is the stable, negative charge maintained by a neuron when it is not actively sending or receiving signals.
