There are two main ways Neurons communicate to each other:
1) via chemical messengers
2) via electrical potentials
The main form of communication via neurons to neurons in a chemical messenger so I will explain this one.
An example of a chemical messenger is when one neuron releases glutamate from its axon. Glutamate is an neurotransmitter (NT) created in our body, it's purpose is to excite the neuron it is received by.
So for instance ( and this is a very general example this is not how pain works completely I just made up this example to demonstrate how the communication happens. ) lets say you touch a hot stove. An interneuron in your spinal cord receives the pain signals. How can it communicate to the brain neurons you are in pain? Well the interneuron can release the glutamate from it's axon, and then NT glutamate will travel to neuron b who has receptors for glutamate. When the glutamate binds to neurone b's receptors, neuron b will become excited.
What else can I help you with?
The message that travels through a neuron?
The message that travels through a neuron is an electrical impulse called an action potential. It is generated when the neuron is stimulated and travels along the neuron's axon, facilitated by the movement of charged ions. This ultimately allows the neuron to communicate with other neurons or target cells.
What message moves from one end of a neuron to another in the form of what?
resting potential
What is the microscopic space that separates the axon of one neuron from the dendrites of another neuron?
The microscopic space that separates the axon terminal of one neuron from the dendrites of another neuron is called the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft to communicate with the dendrites of the neighboring neuron.
What are the parts of the neuron that the messages travels through?
The message travels through the axon and Schwann cells (which make up the axon) as an electrical message. When it reaches the dendrite, it is converted into a chemical message where it can be picked up by another neuron.
What begins when a neuron is stimulated by another neuron or by the environment true or false?
From the axon terminal of another neuron, a bunch of chemicals (neurotransmitters) are released and travel across the synapse (junction of two neurons). If enough stimulate the second neuron, the total energy triggers another action potential. Short and simple explanation--message me if you want more info!
What happens when neurotransmitters communicate an excitatory message to the postsynaptic neuron?
When neurotransmitters communicate an inhibitory message to the postsynaptic neuron:
Neurotransmitters communicate an inhibitory message to the postsynaptic neuron?
reuptake is inhibited

What is the place where a neuron communicate with a muscle fiber or gland or another neuron?
synapse
What type of neuron carries a message from one neuron to another?
It is called an Interneuron
What is the message that travels through the neuron?
An Impulse
What is the message a neuron carries?
nerve impulses
What A message moves from one end of a neuron to another in the form of what?
resting potential
What message moves from one end of a neuron to another in the form of what?

Trace how a message is passed from one neuron to another?
A neuron sends a message, or neurotransmitter, to the muscle cell to tell it what to do. To get the message, the receiving cell must have a receptor. Oddly, the unstable protein rapsyn is responsible for anchoring the receptor so it's properly positioned to catch the message.
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.
