why do they do the extra work to make neurotransmitters, convert electrical impulses into chemical then have neurotransmitters bind and then conversion into electrical again? Couldn’t they just connect with each other like other cells form a tissue as the reticulate theory suggested? Are there any advantages to this extra effort or is it just another lack of efficiency?
In: Biology
neurotransmitters stick around for a while in which the cell doesn’t have to keep retransmitting. they’re also only released when enough electric impulses build up, which creates a way to regulate when a specific signal is transmitted
