The Function & Anatomy of Neurons What is a Neuron?
... The postsynaptic neuron has a concaved surface that creates a gap (synaptic cleft) between the synaptic bulb and the postsynaptic neuron. Once the impulse reaches the bulb the synaptic vesicles of the bulb move toward the bulb membrane. At the membrane the vesicles open and release the neurotran ...
