Neural signal transmission

Neural signal transmission is how our brain and nervous system communicate. It involves nerve cells called neurons that send electrical signals. When a neuron receives a message, it creates an electrical impulse that travels along its length. At the end of the neuron, this impulse triggers the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters, which cross tiny gaps called synapses. These chemicals then create a new electrical signal in the next neuron, passing the message along. This process enables rapid communication throughout your body, allowing you to think, feel, move, and respond to your environment efficiently.
