GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Communication between neurons occurs at tiny gaps called synapses, where specialized parts of the two cells (i.e., the presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons) come within nanometers of one another to allow for chemical transmission.

Detailed explanation-2: -First of all, synapses are not a physical connection; the neurons don’t actually touch each other. They get very, very close, but they don’t touch, and if they don’t touch, the electricity can’t flow between them.

Detailed explanation-3: -The transfer of information from neuron to neuron takes place through the release of chemical substances into the space between the axon and the dendrites. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters, and the process is called neurotransmission. The space between the axon and the dendrites is called the synapse.
