Electro-chemical: Neurotransmitters exist at the termination of the axon as it contacts other nerves or muscles. There are excitatory neurotransmitters, and inhibitory. The former glutamine and glycine, the latter norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin. All exists in a balance, and is fine tuned in normal daily activity.
