Answer:

Neurotransmitter

Step-by-step explanation:

A neurotransmitter is a signal which transmits information between neurons at the end of the axon. This neurotransmitter can either be excitatory or inhibitory. Whenever an action potential is triggered within a neuron, the neurotransmitter releases this action potential into the synapses at the axon as either an excitatory or inhibitory signal before a new action potential is triggered.
