... There is a gap, or space, between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of another. This gap is called a synapse. At the synapse, neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) are released which will impact the next neuron’s dendrites. These neurotransmitters are what make each nervous response unique. ...
