When neurons communicate, the neurotransmitters from one neuron are released, cross the synapse, and attach themselves to special molecules in the next neuron called receptors. Receptors receive and process the message, then send it on to the next neuron. 4. Eventually, the message reaches the brain.
If the neurons interact, neurotransmitters in the next neuron called receptors are activated and are bound to the synapse through specific molecules. The receivers interpret the message and analyze it, and transfer it to the next neuron. 4. The message enters the cortex, eventually.
