Neural communication refers to the process by which neurons, the basic units of the nervous system, transmit signals to each other. This communication occurs through electrical impulses and chemical signals called neurotransmitters. When a neuron is activated, it generates an action potential, which travels along its axon to the synapse, where neurotransmitters are released to communicate with neighboring neurons. This intricate system allows for the coordination of various bodily functions and responses. Neural communication is essential for processes such as muscle movement, sensory perception, and cognitive functions. Disruptions in this communication can lead to neurological disorders, highlighting its importance in overall health.
