Synapses can be thought of as converting an electrical signal (the action potential) into a chemical signal in the form of neurotransmitter release, and then, upon binding of the transmitter to the postsynaptic receptor, switching the signal back again into an electrical form, as charged ions flow into or out of the postsynaptic neuron.

Neurotransmitter

# data[].attributes.body
Neurotransmitters are often referred to as the body’s chemical messengers. They are the molecules used by the nervous system to transmit messages between neurons, or from neurons to muscles.

Communication between two neurons happens in the synaptic cleft (the small gap between the synapses of neurons). Here, electrical signals that have travelled along the axon are briefly converted into chemical ones through the release of neurotransmitters, causing a specific response in the receiving neuron.

A neurotransmitter influences a neuron in one of three ways: excitatory, inhibitory or modulatory.

A single neuron cannot function on its own and the nervous system depends on the group of neurons that work together.
This is a clear example:

The human being possesses approximately 100 billion neurons in the brain.

The  way the  body and mind work is through the enormously complex interaction of signals between neurons,which results in our thoughts, consciousness and sub consciousness, responsible for executing all processes within the body. So  the mind-body connections is literally thanks to the nervous system.

The mental life of the human being involves the activity of the nervous  system, especially the brain.
