Every neuron produces a different chemical messenger, unique to itself. To
state that another way, every neuron works like a factory producing chemical
messengers to be used in communication.

sengers attach to the cell membrane and release the molecules inside them
into the spaces, or synapses between neurons. The message carried by the
messenger is forwarded to receptors on the receiving neuron’s membrane.
There is a particular receptor with which each messenger molecule con-
nects. Thus the message carried by the messenger molecule is perceived by
the receiver neuron (Figure 90).
Every stage of the communication process described here in the
briefest of terms involves processes not yet completely understood. Indeed,

scientists state that their knowledge regarding the nerves’ transmissions is
still indistinct. 22
Consider, for instance, just the fusion of the bubbles to the cell mem-
brane. The event we describe as “fusion” in fact refers to a very special
