Brain cells, also known as neurons, are the fundamental units of the nervous system responsible for transmitting and processing information in the brain.
A synapse is the tiny gap between two neurons where information is transmitted via chemical signals.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals released by neurons that transmit signals across synapses.
Action potential refers to the brief electrical impulse generated by a neuron when it becomes excited, allowing for communication between neurons.
