Synapse

LectureNotes is correct. The space between two neurons is called the synapse. The synapse is a small gap between the axon terminal of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron. It is the site where communication occurs between neurons through the transmission of chemical signals known as neurotransmitters. When an electrical impulse reaches the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron, it triggers the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptor sites on the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron, allowing the transmission of the signal from one neuron to another. The synapse plays a crucial role in the functioning of the nervous system and is essential for processes such as learning, memory, and information processing.
