Intracellular communication is achieved at the synapse. The presynaptic neuron discharges an action potential which releases a neurochemicals at the presynaptic membrane. This chemical travels across the synaptic cleft until it is taken up by the postsynaptic membrane receptors. Some synapses are electrical, but most are of a chemical nature as described.
