Neurotransmitters: Difference between revisions

[[Neurotransmitters]] are the chemicals which allow the transmission of signals from one neuron to another across the synapses. In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron. In order for neurons to send messages to interact throughout the body, they need to be able to communicate with one another to transmit signals. Neurotransmitters and [[Synapses]] are essential to the [[Brain]] and [[CNS|nervous system]], they are what allow the nerve cells to communicate with each other, to interact and form larger neural networks. If our synapses are blocked from sending an [[Electromagnetic Signals|electrical signal]] in a neurotransmitter to another cell, it effectively breaks down all communication between the cells, effectively disconnecting the messaging in the brain’s [[Neural Net]]work.
