Neuroscience basics: Synaptic transmission - Chemical synapse, Animation

Transcript

Neurons communicate with each other mainly via  chemical messages, or neurotransmitters. When a   neuron is sufficiently stimulated, an electrical  impulse called an action potential is generated   and travels down the axon to the nerve  terminal. Here, it triggers the release   of a neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft
