Small space between neurons
A
dendrite
B
axon
C
synapse
D
cerebrum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -There is a small gap between the axon terminal of the presynaptic neuron and the membrane of the postsynaptic cell, and this gap is called the synaptic cleft.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: The gap between two neurons is called as synapse.

Detailed explanation-3: -At a chemical synapse each ending, or terminal, of a nerve fibre (presynaptic fibre) swells to form a knoblike structure that is separated from the fibre of an adjacent neuron, called a postsynaptic fibre, by a microscopic space called the synaptic cleft. The typical synaptic cleft is about 0.02 micron wide.

Detailed explanation-4: -(4) Impulse The gap between two neurons is called a synapse. It is the juncture where the axon of one neuron forms a connection with another neuron. This connection is called a synaptic gap or synapse. Synapses are essential for neural communication and the transmission of impulses from one neuron to another.
