Neurons communicate with each other

A) by means of chemicals that are present in the spaces between them.
B) by means of dendrites touching other dendrites.
C) by means of electrical impulses that radiate out of the myelin sheath.
D) by means of connections with glial cells.

Myelin Sheath

A protective layer of fatty substance that surrounds the axon of some neurons, enhancing the speed and efficiency of electrical signal transmission.

Dendrites

Branch-like extensions of neurons that receive signals from other nerve cells and are integral for brain communication.

Neurotransmitters

Chemical substances in the nervous system that transmit signals across a synapse from one neuron to another, influencing mental states and behavior.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Neurons communicate with each other through neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that are released from the axon terminal of one neuron and bind to receptors on the dendrites or cell body of another neuron. This communication occurs in the synaptic cleft, the space between the two neurons.
