Neurons – A whistle-stop Tour
... At synapses, the ends of axons (called axon terminals) nearly, but not actually touch the next neuron. Axon terminals contain many synaptic vesicules loaded with 2000 molecules of a specialised compound called a neurotransmitter. An electrical impulse called a ‘spike’ sends electrical impulses down ...
