Neurotransmission in psychology refers to the process by which nerve cells (neurons) communicate with each other through the release and reception of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. This process is essential for brain function, enabling thoughts, emotions, movements, and various physiological responses. Neurotransmission underpins all cognitive processes and behaviours, making it a fundamental concept in the study of psychology and neuroscience.
