Question

What happen at the synapse between two neurons?

Answer 1

When a nerve impulse reaches the end of the first neuron (presynaptic terminal), various neurotransmitters are released from the same, into the area between the two neurons, called as a synaptic cleft. From synaptic cleft, these neurotransmitters are picked up the postsynaptic terminal of the second neuron, which leads to an impulse.
