Cross section of the olfactory bulb of a rat, stained in two different ways at the same time: one stain shows neuronal cell bodies, the other shows receptors for the neurotransmitter GABA.

Neurons generate electrical signals that travel along their axons. When an electrical impulse reaches a junction called a synapse, it causes a neurotransmitter to be released, which binds to receptors on other cells and thereby alters their electrical activity.
