How Neurons Communicate – General Psychology - University of …
WEBNeuronal communication is often referred to as an electrochemical event. The movement of the action potential down the length of the axon is an electrical event, and movement of the neurotransmitter across the synaptic space …
12.4 Communication Between Neurons – Anatomy & Physiology
WEBA synapse is the site of communication between a neuron and another cell. There are two types of synapses: chemical synapses and electrical synapses. In a chemical synapse, a chemical signal— a neurotransmitter—is released from the neuron and it binds to a receptor on the other cell.
How Neurons Communicate - BrainFacts
WEBNeurons communicate using both electrical and chemical signals. Sensory stimuli are converted to electrical signals. Action potentials are electrical signals carried along neurons. Synapses are chemical or electrical junctions that allow electrical signals to pass from neurons to other cells.
How do neurons communicate (so quickly)? - MIT McGovern …
WEBFeb 28, 2019 · We take a closer look at the anatomy of the neuron and the role myelin plays in the rapid transmission of messages between brain cells. In the neuron, a protective covering called myelin (grey) insulates the axon and increases the speed of electrical communication along the length of the neuron.

4.3: How Neurons Communicate - Biology LibreTexts
WEBJun 16, 2020 · While humans use words and body language to communicate, neurons use electrical and chemical signals. Just like a person in a committee, one neuron usually receives and synthesizes messages from multiple other neurons before “making the decision” to send the message on to other neurons.
