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.

What is the small space separating pre and post-synaptic neurons?

The small space separating pre and post-synaptic neurons is called the synaptic cleft. This cleft allows for the transmission of chemical signals, known as neurotransmitters, from the pre-synaptic neuron to the post-synaptic neuron to occur. The neurotransmitters are released by the pre-synaptic neuron and bind to receptors on the post-synaptic neuron to transmit the signal.
