Communication between neurons. Benoit Zuber. Communication between neurons, or nerve cells, is the cellular basis for thinking, decision making, and control of muscular movements.Neurons are cells with a particular shape: they possess two types of long ramification, called the axon and the dendrites.The axon of one neuron is in contact with the dendrites of other neurons. These contacts are termed synapses.eurons are cells with a particular shape: they possess two types of long ramification, called the axon and the dendrites.

Unlike wires in your home, nerve cells do not touch, but come close together at synapses. At the synapse, the two nerve cells are separated by a tiny gap, or synaptic cleft. The sending neuron is called the presynaptic cell, while the receiving one is called the postsynaptic cell.Nerve cells send chemical messages with neurotransmitters in a one-way direction across the synapse from presynaptic cell to postsynaptic cell. Some get taken up by specific transporters on the presynaptic cell (reuptake). 2  In the presynaptic cell, MAO and COMT destroy the absorbed serotonin molecules. 3  This enables the nerve signal to be turned off and readies the synapse to receive another action potential.
