Neurons communicate by either chemical or electrical synapses. By far the predominant method is chemical though. The neuron releases a neurotransmitter like acetyl choline, glutamate, glycine and others to which the postsynaptic neuron or cell responds to.

Synapses are the contact points where one neuron communicates with another. The dendrites are covered with synapses formed by the ends of axons from other neurons. Neurons are cells within the nervous system that transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells.

1 Neurons communicate with other neurons and stimulate both?

Neurons communicate with other neurons through chemical and electrical signals. When one neuron is activated, it can stimulate adjacent neurons to transmit the signal further along the neural network.


Where do neurons meet?

Neurons meet and communicate with each other at junctions called synapses. At these synapses, they release and receive chemical neurotransmitters to transmit signals from one neuron to another.


What is the name of the region where two neurons are in done contact is known as?

synapse is that junction through which impulse can be transmitted from one neuron to another.


Do Most neurons have many axons?

Neurons that carry messages within the nervous system?

Neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical and chemical signals throughout the nervous system to communicate messages. They communicate through the release of neurotransmitters at synapses, enabling the transmission of information across the brain and body.


What are in neurons?

Neurons are nerve cells. Neurons in the brain are involved in thinking and perceiving and consciousness and control of the body, and neurons elsewhere in the body communicate with the brain.


How is an impulse transmitted from one neuron to the next?

Neurons communicate primarily in two ways: (1) electrical communication and (2) chemical communication. Neurons communicate electrically using gap junctions between neurons where electrical impulses are sent directly from one neuron to another. This is method is used for local communication as the electrical signal degrades over larger distances. Neurons communicate chemically using chemicals called neurotransmitters which are ejected from one neuron into a space between neurons (called the synapse) and are then absorbed or taken up by other neighboring neurons.


What are neurons in body?

Neurons are nerve cells. Neurons in the brain are involved in thinking and perceiving and consciousness and control of the body, and neurons elsewhere in the body communicate with the brain.


How do neurons communicate with one another to transmit information within the brain and nervous system?

Neurons communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. When a neuron is activated, it sends an electrical impulse down its axon to release neurotransmitters at the synapse, which are then received by the dendrites of the next neuron. This process allows for the transmission of information within the brain and nervous system.

Neurons communicate with other neurons and stimulate both?

Neurons communicate through electrochemical signals, known as action potentials, that allow them to relay information to other neurons. When a neuron stimulates another neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters that can excite or inhibit the activity of the receiving neuron, influencing its firing potential. This communication is key in coordinating various functions in the brain and nervous system.


What does an interneuron do in the CNS?

An interneuron is also called an association neuron. Its job is to communicate with other neurons.
