stimulation of a presynaptic neuron
(e.g., by neurotransmitters, light,
drugs, hormones, nerve impulses)
classic synaptic causes electrical impulses to be sent
neurotransmissio to its axon terminal. These electrical
n impulses are then converted into
chemical messengers and released to
stimulate the receptors of a
postsynaptic neuron.

, is the gap between the presynaptic
neuron and the postsynaptic neuron;
it contains proteins and scaffolding
and molecular forms of "synaptic
The synaptic cleft glue" to reinforce the connection
between the neurons. Receptors are
present on both sides of this cleft and
are key elements of chemical
neurotransmission.
