Neurons communicate with each other through complex mechanisms that involve both electrical and chemical signals. This communication is essential for the brain's ability to process information, regulate bodily functions, and support cognitive activities. Understanding these mechanisms provides insights into how the brain functions and how it can be affected by various conditions.
