Communication between neurons. Benoit Zuber. Communication between neurons, or nerve cells, is the cellular basis for thinking, decision making, and control of muscular movements.Neurons are cells with a particular shape: they possess two types of long ramification, called the axon and the dendrites.The axon of one neuron is in contact with the dendrites of other neurons. These contacts are termed synapses.eurons are cells with a particular shape: they possess two types of long ramification, called the axon and the dendrites.
