Neural communication refers to how neurons send and receive information throughout the nervous system. It involves electrical impulses traveling along neurons and chemical messages being transmitted through synapses via neurotransmitters.
The synapse is a tiny gap between two neurons where chemical signaling occurs through release and reception of neurotransmitter molecules.
Postsynaptic Potential (PSP): PSPs are changes in voltage or electrical charge that occur in response to neurotransmitter binding on receptors located on postsynaptic neuron membranes.
