Neurotransmitters, Brain and Disease Thanks to their numerous branch-like processes, neurons interconnect forming a massive network of wires that extend throughout the body. By sending messages across this network, the different parts of the human body interact and communicate with each other. Neurons communicate through an electrochemical process.

- Most synapses are axodendritic, i.e., the axon of one neuron synapses with the dendrite of another. But there are also axosomatic (axon to cell body), and axoaxonic (one neuron's axon synapses with another neuron's axon) synapses. In addition, dendrites may also synapse with each other in dendro-dendritic connections. And to introduce yet another layer of complexity, not all neurons communicate at chemical synapses.

Neuroscience For Kids However, neurons differ from other cells in the body because: 1  Neurons have specialize cell parts called dendrites and axons. 2  Neurons communicate with each other through an electrochemical process. 3  Neurons contain some specialized structures (for example, synapses) and chemicals (for example, neurotransmitters).ells of the nervous system, called nerve cells or neurons, are specialized to carry messages through an electrochemical process. The human brain has approximately 100 billion neurons. To learn how neurons carry messages, read about the action potential. Neurons come in many different shapes and sizes.

How Do Neurons Communicate? Anatomy of a Neuron. The anatomy of a neuron is very important to understand how they communicate. There are four main parts of a neuron: 1  The body of the neuron: This is the part of the neuron that houses the nucleus and any other organelles required to allow the neuron to sustain life.

Neurons and Their Role in the Nervous System How do neurons transmit and receive information? In order for neurons to communicate, they need to transmit information both within the neuron and from one neuron to the next. This process utilizes both electrical signals as well as chemical messengers. The dendrites of neurons receive information from sensory receptors or other neurons. This information is then passed down to the cell body and on to the axon. Once the information has arrived at the axon, it travels down the length of the axon in the form of an electrical signal known as an action potential.

Neurons, Synapses, Action Potentials, and Neurotransmission At electrical synapses, two neurons are physically connected to one another through gap junctions. Gap junctions permit changes in the electrical properties of one neuron to effect the other, and vice versa, so the two neurons essentially behave as one.

How Do Neurons Communicate? 1 Axon: The axon is on the opposite side of the neuron. It is an arm with multiple arms branching off of it like a tree. The responsibility of the axon is to transmit the signal from one neuron and then pass it to another neuron.  Synapse: This is actually the space between two neurons; however, it is very important.

How do neurotransmitters facilitate communication between neurons? Neurotransmitters are the chemical medium through which the signals move from one neuron to the next at the synapses. This is called neurotransmission and the way it is done is through electrochemical processes. A chemical message from other neurons, through dendrites causes a nerve impulse. This travels down the Axon to the terminal buttons at the end. This then releases the neurotransmitters which send a message to the next neuron.

3: How a neuron works As a matter of fact, scientists often compare the activity of neurons to the way electricity works. A neuron communicates with other neurons at special places called synapses or synaptic clefts. To send a message, a neuron releases a chemical messenger, or neurotransmitter, into the synaptic cleft.
