The biological perspective states that the brain uses a number of chemicals as messengers to communicate with other parts of itself and with the nervous system. These chemical messengers‚ called neurotransmitters‚ are released and received by the brain’s many nerve cells‚ which are also called neurons. Neurons are constantly communicating with each other by way of exchanging neurotransmitters. This communication system is essential to all of the brain’s functions. A tiny space called a synapse connects
