Don't you hate it when there isn't an answer to your question on here? Glad I could help. <3
A synapse is a structure that allows communication between neurons. Information is transmitted across the synapse through the release of neurotransmitters from the presynaptic neuron, which then bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, leading to changes in the postsynaptic neuron's electrical activity.
Via chemical messangers that cross the synapse.
synapse
They act as an active "bridge".
The synapse consists of the two neurons, one of which is sending information to the other. The sending neuron is known as the pre-synaptic neuron (i.e. before the synapse) while the receiving neuron is known as the post-synaptic neuron (i.e. after the synapse).
gap allows information to jump between neurons

The space between two neurons is called a synapse. It is a small gap where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of one neuron, travel across the synapse, and bind to receptors on the dendrites of the neighboring neuron to transmit the signal. This process allows for the communication and transfer of information between neurons in the nervous system.
