Communication refers to the process by which neurons send and receive information within the nervous system. It involves both electrical impulses within individual neurons and chemical interactions between neurons at synapses.
The process in which neurotransmitters are reabsorbed by the sending neuron after they have transmitted their signal, helping regulate neural communication.
