Insights on Neurotransmitters and Synaptic Communication
Neurotransmitters are the signaling molecules released by neurons, with the key signaling process in the brain being the electrical spike known as an action potential. Neurons are identified by the specific neurotransmitter they release. The gap between neurons, known as the synapse, is crucial as it allows the released neurotransmitter to interact with the receptors on the post-synaptic neuron.
