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.
Figure 2:1 The neuron,or nerve cell, is the functional unit of the nervous system. The neurons has proceses called dendrites that receive signals and an axon that transmits signals to another neuron.The cell body, also called the soma, is the metabolic center of the neuron.. Communication between neurons is the foundation for brain function. Understanding how neurotransmission occurs is crucial to understanding how the brain processes and integrates information. Interruption of neural communication causes changes in cognitive processes and behavior.
