Abstract
Nerve cells never occur in isolation within anorganism. In addition to their close association with glial cells (see Chap. 1.2), they are always connected to other neurons and receptor or effector cells in the region of their nerve fiberendings via the formation of synaptic contacts.The integration of nervous systems into highly complex functional systems, i.e., into information and control centers, increases proportionately to the animal’s higher developmental phylogeneticstanding.
