Neurons: Our Building Blocks
... -Neurons do not actually touch each other to pass on information. The gap between neurons is called the synapse. -The synapse acts as an electrical insulator, preventing an electrical charge from racing to the next cell. -To pass across the synaptic gap, or synaptic cleft, an electrical message must ...
