Neuron & Neural Transmission Overview

I have seen several Science RC passages related to Neurons and always found them hard to understand. So, I decided to get an overview. I found following link very helpful

Whatever helps you is great, and I guess someone could benefit from this. However, from my studying so far, subject matter knowledge has nothing to do with doing well on RC questions. I think you and other people would be better served studying the techniques on how to attack a passage.

I agree. However, based on techniques I have used and my experience so far, paraphrasing is important in choosing correct answer for RC. I find it difficult to paraphrase on a topic which is a. Complex b. completely new to me - may be because English is my second language. Being familier with common RC topics can help, of course one should not use prior knowledge to answer an RC question. :)

Having said that, we may still see a new topic and if you have any techniques, please share.
