Cell Signaling Explained
Explore the fascinating world of cell signaling, where neurotransmitters facilitate communication in the nervous system, cytokines orchestrate immune responses, and hormones regulate various bodily functions. Each signaling molecule plays a crucial role, binding to specific receptors and triggering essential responses in target cells. Understanding these mechanisms reveals the intricate connections that sustain life and health.In this clip

Please elaborate on how neurotransmitters allow electrical signals to influence other neurons.
How do neurons communicate using signals?
When you say "Neurons communicate at synapses, which are small gaps between them. When a neuron sends a signal, it releases neurotransmitters into this gap, affecting the activity of the next neuron (either exciting or inhibiting it)," is inhibition achieved through sending neurotransmitters that inhibit, or is it simply the lack of neurotransmitter transmission?
