Neuronal Communication as an Electrochemical Event
The process of neuronal communication is described as an electrochemical event because it involves two distinct stages. The electrical stage is the movement of the action potential down the axon, while the chemical stage is the transmission of the signal across the synaptic space via neurotransmitters.

A new experimental drug is found to prevent the release of neurotransmitters from the terminal buttons of a neuron, even though the neuron can still generate and propagate an electrical signal down its axon. Which statement best analyzes the specific impact of this drug on the overall communication process between two neurons?
