When neurons are stimulated by nerve impulses, they transmit electrical signals known as action potentials along their axons. This process involves the rapid influx and efflux of ions, particularly sodium and potassium, which propagates the signal. Upon reaching the synaptic terminals, neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft, facilitating communication with adjacent neurons or target cells. This transmission is essential for processing and relaying information throughout the nervous system.
