Central Nervous System Communication

Meaning

Central Nervous System Communication describes the intricate and rapid exchange of information between the brain and the spinal cord, as well as the bidirectional signaling between the CNS and the rest of the body. This communication is essential for coordinating physiological responses, regulating homeostasis, processing sensory input, and orchestrating complex behaviors. It relies on both electrical signaling via neurons and chemical signaling via neurotransmitters and neuropeptides. The integrity of this communication pathway is paramount for neuroendocrine function and overall health.
