The axon terminals of a neuron are responsible for relaying signals from one neuron to another neuron or to an effector, such as a muscle or gland. When an action potential travels down the axon, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the axon terminals, which then stimulate the next neuron or target cell.
Serotonin is not a neuron, it is a neurotransmitter. It relays information between neurons, with serotonin producing a calming, happy feeling. Lack of serotonin can cause depression, but an over abundance of serotonin can cause psychosis.
Sensory neurons are responsible for sending information to the spinal cord. These neurons transmit signals from sensory receptors in the body to the spinal cord, which then relays the information to the brain for processing.
The structures that relay nerve impulses between the brain and sense organs are the sensory neurons. These neurons transmit signals from the sense organs to the brain through the central nervous system. In the brain, the signals are processed and interpreted, leading to the perception of various sensory stimuli.

A spinal reflex is an automatic, rapid response to a stimulus. The action is involuntary and occurs without any involvement of thought or the brain. In humans, this action occurs through a neural pathway called the reflex arc. To allow reflexes to occur very quickly, signals come directly from motor neurons in the spine, instead of being delayed by going through the brain.The arc works as follows:1. A receptor at the point of stimulus relays the message that there is an adverse stimulus to a sensory neuron2. The sensory neuron carries the message from the receptor at the point of the stimulus to the spinal cord (part of the central nervous system)3. In the spinal cord, a relay neuron, or inter-neuron, carries the message from the sensory neuron to a motor neuron4. The motor neuron then carries the message to the appropriate effector, at which point, the reflex occurs.After this spinal reflex occurs, sensory neurons send messages to the brain. The brain then relays this information and the messages are consciously interpreted. It is only at this point that you will begin to feel pain.Though this seems like a complicated process, spinal reflexes occur in under one second. Within that same second, the brain will consciously interpret the information and the person will feel pain.

I also think that you may be thinking of how one half (or one side) of the brain carries messages to the other side. That is done with a wide, flat bundle of neural fibers called the corpus callosum.

The spinal cord - relays 'messages' to and from the brain - to all parts of the body.
The nervous system relays impulses between the brain and other body parts through nerve cells called neurons. These neurons communicate through electrical signals that travel along nerve fibers to transmit information throughout the body.
The optic nerve relays information from the eye it self to the brain area. it sends messages and tells the brain what exactly you are looking at it relays color and form of objects.
