 Transduction (physiology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physiology, transduction is the conversion of a stimulus from one form to another.
For example, in the visual system, sensory cells called rod cells in the retina convert the physical energy of light signals into electrical impulses that travel to the brain.
Transduction in the nervous system typically refers to synaptic events wherein an electrical signal, known as an action potential, is converted into a chemical one via the release of neurotransmitters.

'Signal Transduction' or 'Signaling' is the process by which biological information is transferred.
In the whole animal, signal transduction controls growth, development, metabolism and behavior.
