∙ 11y agoThe opening across which one neuron communicates with another neuron is called a synapse. At the synapse, chemical signals called neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron, which then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron to transmit the signal.
Synapse
When one neuron communicates with another, the nerve impulse travels down the axon of the presynaptic neuron, reaches the axon terminal, triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron's dendrites, initiating a new nerve impulse in the postsynaptic neuron.
Neuron.
Opening of potassium channels allows potassium ions to move out of the neuron, leading to hyperpolarization by increasing the negative charge inside the neuron. This action increases the charge difference across the membrane, known as the resting membrane potential, making the neuron less likely to fire an action potential.
The junction where the axon terminal of a sending neuron communicates with a receiving neuron is called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptors on the receiving neuron, allowing for the transmission of signals between neurons.

Diffusion of transmitters across synaptic cleft is the process by which neurotransmitters are released from the presynaptic neuron into the synaptic cleft and then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. This allows for the transmission of signals from one neuron to another in the nervous system.
It's most likely called a synapse
Synapse. The gap itself is called the synapticcleft.
It is most definitely a synapse.
The space through which a nervous impulse is transmitted from one neuron to another is called a synapse. It is a tiny gap between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another, where neurotransmitters carry signals across the gap to continue the message.
