Synapses And Neurons Supporting Neural Signal Transmission

When electrical signals flow through neurons and synapses, they travel as “action potentials” along the axon of a neuron, reaching the synapse where they are converted into chemical signals (neurotransmitters) to cross the gap and then are converted back into electrical signals in the receiving neuron, allowing for communication between neurons; this process occurs at a specialized junction called a synapse.
