synapse diagram: cells communicate by electrical messages passed from the axon of one nerve cell to the neuron of another. This transmission is mediated by neurochemicals such as serotonin and dopamine found in the synapse -- the space between the axon and the neuron. An imbalance --either too much or too little -- can result in improper communication and physical or psychological symptoms. Created with Photoshop.
