Neurons communicate through electrical impulses known as action potentials, which are generated when a neuron's membrane potential reaches a certain threshold. This electrical signal travels down the axon of the neuron and triggers the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse, the junction between neurons. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the next neuron, facilitating the transmission of the signal. This process enables rapid and coordinated communication within the nervous system.
