Neurons transmit signals through a process involving electrical impulses called action potentials. When a neuron receives sufficient stimulation, this signal travels down its axon and reaches the axon terminals, where it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse. These chemicals cross the synaptic gap and bind to receptors on the next neuron, potentially generating a new action potential, thus continuing the signal transmission [1][2][6][9][12].
