Neurotransmitters

Chemical substances that transmit signals across a synapse from one neuron to another, influencing various functions in the body and brain.

Synaptic Gap

The tiny space between neurons across which neurotransmitters travel to transmit signals from one neuron to another.

Terminal Buttons

Small structures at the end of a neuron's axon that release neurotransmitters, facilitating neural communication.
