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.
