The Synapse Neurons have specialized projections called dendrites and axons .
Dendrites bring information to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body.
Information from one neuron flows to another neuron across a synapse . The synapse is a small gap separating 2 neurons. Electrical Trigger for Neurotransmission For communication between neurons to occur, an electrical impulse must first travel down an axon to the synaptic terminal. The vesicle membrane will fuse with the presynaptic membrane releasing the neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft. Until recently, it was thought that a neuron produced and released only one type of neurotransmitter.
