A member asked:
How can nerve signals pass through the synapse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Electro-chemical: Many neurotransmitters, both excitatory and inhibitory play a major role in nerve-nerve communication in brain and spinal cord. Simplest model is the Neuro-muscular junction, where at the tip of the axon, there is a release of acetylcholine, which reaches the postsynaptic muscle receptor, causing muscle contraction.
