After the electrical signal, also called the action potential, reaches the end of the axon it stimulates the release of chemicals called neurotransmitters. These chemical messengers carry information from the sending neuron across the synaptic gap to receptor sites on a receiving neuron. Many pharmaceuticals and recreational drugs enhance, mimic, or block the brain's natural neurotransmitters, affecting behavior, moods, and cognition.
