Okay, so you guys have heard me say a couple of times now that neurons communicate via electrochemical signals, and specifically what I mean by that is that neurons communicate through electrical impulses and chemical signals. And I wanted to just take a second to kind of break down where each of these events is taking place. So, the electrical communication is actually happening within neurons. Okay. So, this is happening inside of a neuron and the main type of electrical communication that we're going to go over are called action potentials, and we will have several videos talking about those.
So, the electrical communication is happening within a neuron. Now, in contrast, the chemical communication actually happens between neurons. Okay. So, when one neuron wants to send a signal to another neuron, that is where we're going to be using chemical signaling or chemical communication, and this will involve special chemicals called neurotransmitters, and we will have several videos talking about those as well. Okay, so the big takeaway when we're saying electrochemical communication what we mean is that there is electrical communication taking place within a neuron and chemical communication taking place between neurons.
Alright. I will see you guys in our next videos to go over these types of communication in more detail. Bye-bye.
