Neuronal communication refers to the process by which nerve cells, or neurons, transmit signals to one another. This communication occurs through electrical impulses called action potentials, which travel along the neuron's axon. When the impulse reaches the end of the axon, it triggers the release of chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters cross the synapse, the gap between neurons, to bind with receptors on the receiving neuron, facilitating the transmission of information. This process is essential for various functions in the body, including movement, sensation, and cognition. The efficiency of neuronal communication is influenced by factors such as myelination, which speeds up signal transmission, and the overall health of the nervous system. Disruptions in this communication can
