Neural signaling

Neural signaling is how your brain and nervous system communicate. It involves tiny electrical and chemical signals traveling along nerve cells called neurons. When a neuron receives a signal, it changes its electrical charge and releases chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. These chemicals cross small gaps called synapses to pass the message to the next neuron. This rapid exchange of signals enables your body to process sensations, control movements, and carry out complex thoughts. Essentially, neural signaling is the communication system that allows your brain and body to work together seamlessly.
