Neural Transmission

Meaning

Neural transmission is the fundamental process by which information is relayed across the nervous system via electrochemical signals between neurons. This intricate communication involves the release of neurotransmitters from the presynaptic terminal, their diffusion across the synaptic cleft, and subsequent binding to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. The efficiency and fidelity of this process are essential for all cognitive functions, motor control, and hormonal regulation.
