Everything psychological is simultaneously biological. . To think, feel or act without a body would be like running without legs.. We are bio-psycho-social systems. To understand our behavior, we need to study how biological, psychological and social systems interact. . or . junction between neurons & effectors. Synapses rarely involve just 2 neurons. neurotransmitters (chemicals) are released into the synapse by axon terminal of the pre-synaptic neuron. neurotransmitters stimulate the dendrites on post-synaptic neurons or receptors on effectors.
