Final answer:
The transfer of information between neurons is primarily chemical, but electrical synapses do exist and allow for faster, though less common, electrical communication between neurons.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that the transfer of information between neurons occurs chemically, rather than electrically, is both TRUE and FALSE. While the majority of synaptic communication in the nervous system is indeed chemical in nature, where neurotransmitters like dopamine are released from one neuron and bind to another, causing an effect, there also exist electrical synapses. Electrical synapses employ gap junctions that allow for direct electrical communication between neurons. However, these electrical synapses are much less common than chemical ones, and while they allow for faster communication, they are not as versatile as chemical synapses, which can modify their responses to signals.
