the image passes from neuron to neuron through neurotransmitters until it reaches the brain, where the neurotransmitters are read
Neurotransmitters are used to send messages from cell to cell, usually neuron to neuron. Neurotransmitters are released from the pre-synapse, which is at the axon terminus. These neurotransmitters are picked up by the post-synapse on the receiving cell. These post-synapses are located on structures called dendrites or on the cell body.
signals travel from neuron to neuron through neurotranmitters
An action potential travels down the neuron and reaches the presynaptic knob. This causes the Calcium ion channels to open and allow an influx of calcium into the knob. The increased concentration of calcium causes the secretory vesicles within the knob to bind to the outer membrane and release their neurotransmitter (e.g. ACh) into the synaptic cleft.
Neurotransmitters are found in the axonal terminals of a neuron in the peripheral nervous system (or PNS). An example of a neurotransmitter is neurepinephrin.

neurotransmitters send signals from neuron to neuron
The neurotransmitters from one neuron have direct effect on the next neuron. They are channels that are used to transmit messages in the nerves.
They don't, the neurotransmitters stay on either side of the synapse. Neurotransmitters are released when the synaptic vesicles fuse with the presynaptic neuron's membrane, so as to release them into the synaptic cleft.
Neurons communicate with each other by sending electrical signals across a synapse. In a three neuron loop the series of events that happen in synaptic transmission are as follows: Neuron 1 sends an electrical signal (action potential) down its axon towards the synapse. The action potential causes the release of neurotransmitters (chemicals) from the terminal button of Neuron 1 into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitters bind to the receptors of Neuron 2. This binding triggers a new action potential in Neuron 2 which travels down its axon. The action potential causes the release of neurotransmitters (chemicals) from the terminal button of Neuron 2 into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitters bind to the receptors of Neuron 3. This binding triggers a new action potential in Neuron 3 which travels down its axon. The action potential causes the release of neurotransmitters (chemicals) from the terminal button of Neuron 3 into the synaptic cleft. The neurotransmitters bind to the receptors of Neuron 1 closing the loop.This series of events is repeated continuously allowing for the communication between neurons in a three neuron loop.

The action potential stimulates the axon terminal to release its neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitters attach themselves to the dendrote of the next neuron, so that it will open its NA+ channels.
When the action potential reaches the button(axon terminal) of the presynaptic neuron the depolarization causes voltage gated calcium channels to open increasing intracellular calcium content. This causes synaptic vesicles to fuse to the membrane and release neurotransmitters that bind to the post synaptic neuron and create a chemical action potential.
When neurotransmitters communicate an inhibitory message to the postsynaptic neuron:
The axon terminals release chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.
Neurotransmitters released by 1 nerve cell are received by another neuron. The receptor of a postsynaptic neuron receives the neurotransmitters.
