What sorts of signals does the brain use to communicate sensations, thoughts and actions?

kittybasil:

Well, that question is kind of open-ended. Do you have any more details or context that could help us clarify what exactly you're supposed to answer with? ---- Here's what I've got so far, some rough information based on the generality of your question:

Quote:
Chemical and electrical signals are used by the brain for communication, sensation and thought. The brain uses electrical signals from communication. At the end of a neuron, the chemical is set off and the ensuing electrical impulse is generated; this transfers the information
All of this is commonly referred to as "nerve impulses," which are conducted through "electrochemical signaling"
