Dedeleco, your message should be the subject of a subject all by itself! It's way too important!
I've always been taught that there's nothing else going on between neurons ... only nerve impulses, so electricity, so electrons ...

I reproduce my information among the unexplained but unobserved phenomena:
Not explained, and decoded, the meaning of signals between two neurons !!
There are mysteries that are very real and much more studyable long before we think or dream of the hereafter, which is based only on testimonies, which can be completely false, like the words or orders that schizophrenics claim to hear. !!
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophr%C3%A9nie
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia
For example, voices and other religious appearances are very likely schizophrenic manifestations that do not derail enough to be so recognized, especially formerly.
Also among the mysteries of observed and unexplained phenomena, it is crucial long before, to understand the detailed functioning of the brain, which is not understood despite what science has already discovered!
Thus the communication code between two neurons remains totally unknown and we do not say it !!
We measure signals, electrical, chemical, but we don't understand anything, absolutely nothing !!
Even between 2 isolated neurons, we do not know what they are saying, if it is rudimentary as for a flip flop of two transistors of a computer (idea taught very insufficient and therefore false) or if it is much more complex with a very complex code between each neuron, electrical and chemical ,, communicating a whole complex picture as experiments show by activation of a single neuron when viewing a precise complex image !!
We don't understand anything about these signals between 2 neurons !!
It has been found that the moment of relative triggering of the pulses between neurons is very important and that it is not just ordinary binary signals all or nothing, as on a computer, but we understand nothing, strictly nothing, to these signals, which also carry chemical signals, with nearly 300 neurotransmitters!
So before looking at our bizarre impressions, it is essential to understand the bases of communication between 2 isolated neurons, which currently are an observed phenomenon but unexplained and indecipherable for more than 80 years that we roughly measure them !!
Our neurons have a communication code, much more unreadable than the code of our bank cards !!
we never talk about the meaning and real code of these signals !!

If you type on google: neuron code
you will not find anything about the actual code of communication between neurons but that fake models on neuron network computer, too simple compared to real neurons !!
In my opinion each neuron has a very complex thought, detecting a single complex image, or concept alone !!
An example of speculation without experimental proof on the different types of coding imagined, which has the merit of admitting our total incomprehension:

More with the mystery even thicker the importance of the gaps between pulses. :

A slightly more realistic model in this total mystery:

So before studying globally, it is essential to understand this mystery of the communication code between neurons, same as flies or worms!
More generally, the communication between living cells is very complex but essential and also a memory of more than 2 billion years of monocellular evolution communicating enormously with the eyelashes and chemically, essential for the development of our organs
Cancers are also a broken communication between cells.
The genetic code of life seems understood but it is a false impression, because in fact much more complex, with code in the code, microRNA and epigenetics and many mysteries yet to be discovered.
The literature on this subject of life is immense, without solving these mysteries. !!!
