What is the space between neurons across which chemical messages pass?
The space between neurons is called the synaptic cleft. It is where neurotransmitters are released by the presynaptic neuron, travel across the cleft, and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron to transmit chemical messages.
What is the chemical secreted into the gap between neurons at the synapse?
The answer is NEUROTRANSMITTER.
What is the chemical secreted into a gap between neurons at a synapse?
There is not just one chemical secreted into synapses (the gaps between neurons); instead, there are many chemicals secreted from the terminal buttons of neurons into the synapses. They are called "neurotransmitters."
What is the gap between neurons referred as?
synapse
What does the synapse describe the gap between?
Two neurons
The gap between two communicating neurons is terrmed?
This gap is called the synaptic cleft.
Psychology what chemical is released in the gap?
Neurotransmitters are released into the synapse (the space between neurons). These can be a variety of chemicals and ions, including serotonin, dopamine, and GABA.
What is the difference between Neuron and synapse?
A neuron is a nerve cell. A synapse is a gap between the sending and receiving neurons, where there are neurotransmitters responsible for transporting chemicals to the receiving neuron. (A neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger.)
What is the name of the gap between the transmitting and receiving neurons?
the gooch
Which is the space that separates two neurons?
Synapses
What is the space between 2 neurons where electrical and chemical signals jump from neuron neuron?
It's a 'bridge' where the neurotransmitters jump from one neuron to the other. It is called synapse. This is a simple notion that I have about this subject. For a complete review involving this part of the brain and how it works see the link to "Neuron" below.
What is the purpose of a synapse?
gap allows information to jump between neurons
