The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks about the chemicals that facilitate the transmission of nerve impulses from one neuron to another. 2. **Identifying the Chemicals**: The chemicals responsible for this transmission are known as neurotransmitters. 3. **Defining Neurotransmitters**: Neurotransmitters are often referred to as brain chemicals. Their primary function is to relay signals between neurons, allowing communication within the nervous system. 4. **Types of Neurotransmitters**: There are two main types of neurotransmitters: - **Excitatory Neurotransmitters**: These neurotransmitters stimulate the brain and increase the likelihood of a neuron firing. Examples include: - Dopamine - Epinephrine - **Inhibitory Neurotransmitters**: These neurotransmitters inhibit brain activity and decrease the likelihood of a neuron firing. An example is: - Serotonin 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the answer to the question is that the chemicals by which nerve impulses transmit through one neuron to another are called neurotransmitters. ---
