Brain Response of Behavior

To explain the communication process of neurons in the brain we must first understand the how a neuron works. In view of the fact that neurons form a network of electrical activities, they somehow have to be interconnected. When a nerve indicator, or impulse, reaches the ends of its axon, it has traveled as an action potential, or a pulse of electricity. However, there is no cellular continuity between one neuron and the next; there is a breach called synapse. The membranes of the sending and receiving cells are separated from each other by the fluid-filled synaptic gap. The signal cannot leap across the gap electrically, so special chemicals called neurotransmitters provide this role.
As an electrical impulse travels down the extension of the cell, called the axon and arrives at its terminal, it triggers vesicles containing a neurotransmitter to move toward the terminal membrane. The vesicles fuse with the terminal membrane to release their......
