This gap is called the synaptic cleft.
Two neurons
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
The synaptic gap isn't a region of the brain itself, but a term used to describe the tiny space between an axon terminal and the axon or tissue it is communicating with; so synaptic gaps are spread right throughout both the central and peripheral nervous systems.
The space junction between two neurons is called a synapse. It is a small gap where the electrical signal in the form of an action potential is converted into a chemical signal in the form of neurotransmitters to allow communication between neurons.
Synapse. It is a small gap between neurons where neurotransmitters are released to carry signals from one neuron to another. This process is essential for communication between neurons in the nervous system.
The junction between two communicating neurons is called a synapse. At the synapse, electrical signals called action potentials are converted into chemical signals in the form of neurotransmitters, which then travel across the synaptic cleft to relay the signal to the next neuron.

A synaptic cleft is the gap into which a chemical is released.

The answer is NEUROTRANSMITTER.
gap allows information to jump between neurons
neurotransmitters
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."
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
The term used to describe the gap between two neurons is synapse, or synaptic junction.
