How do neurons in the brain communicate with each other?
assistant
Neurons in the brain communicate with each other by sending electrical signals known as action potentials. These action potentials are triggered when the neurons receive chemical signals from other neurons and travel along the axon of the neuron. Once the action potential reaches the end of the axon, it causes the release of chemicals known as neurotransmitters which help to relay the signal to other neurons. This process is known as synaptic transmission and it is how neurons in the brain communicate with each other.
