Neuron cells are the information processing components of the brain responsible for receiving and transmitting information. Each part of the neuron plays a role in the communication of information throughout the body. Neurotransmitters A neurotransmitter is a chemical substance through which

Brain Response of Behavior To explain the communication process of neurons in the brain we must first understand the how a neuron works. In view of the fact that neurons form a network of electrical activities‚ they somehow have to be interconnected. When a nerve indicator‚ or impulse‚ reaches the ends of its axon‚ it has traveled as an action potential‚ or a pulse of electricity. However‚ there is no cellular continuity between one neuron and the next; there is a breach called synapse. The membranes
