neural activity

Neural activity refers to the communication between brain cells, called neurons. Neurons send messages using electrical signals, which travel along their structures and release chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. These signals enable neurons to coordinate thoughts, emotions, and actions. When a neural pathway is active, it means information is flowing through specific groups of neurons, allowing your brain to process experiences, control movement, and support learning. This intricate network of electrical and chemical signals underlies everything the brain does, from simple reflexes to complex reasoning.
