When a nerve signal, or impulse, reaches the ends of its axon, it has traveled as an action potential, or a pulse of electricity. However, there is no cellular continuity between one neuron and the next; there is a gap called synapse.
The presynaptic neuron is the neuron whose axon forms a synapse with the dendrite of another neuron. The presynaptic neuron sends out information. The postsynaptic neuron is the neuron whose dendrite forms a synapse with the axon of the presynaptic neuron. The postsynaptic neuron receives information.ommunication between neurons is the foundation for brain function. Understanding how neurotransmission occurs is crucial to understanding how the brain processes and integrates information. Interruption of neural communication causes changes in cognitive processes and behavior.
