Neurotransmitters are the chemical medium through which the signals move from one neuron to the next at the synapses. This is called neurotransmission and the way it is done is through electrochemical processes. A chemical message from other neurons, through dendrites causes a nerve impulse. This travels down the Axon to the terminal buttons at the end. This then releases the neurotransmitters which send a message to the next neuron. The neuron that sends the message is the pre-synaptic neuron, and the one that receives it is the postsynaptic neuron. Each neurotransmitter has a specific effect on a specific circuit. They do not all work with every receptor. This is a complicated subject to try to explain in a short statement! I have probably confused you by now.

Neurons that convey messages between neurons are called interneruons, and can be located anywhere in the body! They may be involved in more complex reflex arcs, or simply be synapses in between other neurons to be conveyed to other areas in the nervous system. Interneurons can either be sensory or motor. :)
