Neural Firing: the brain’s postal system
Whenever we think, do or say anything, neurons pass
information to each other through an electrical signal.
This system is a bit like a letter in the post –
information starts in one place and travels to another.
Brain chemicals and the ‘branches’ of the brain cell
help the signal to travel across a gap (called the
synapse) to the next neuron.
