What is this?
Synaptic transmission is like a super-fast secret message system between brain cells, called neurons. It's how one brain cell tells another what to do, using tiny chemical signals. This amazing process helps you think, learn, and even feel emotions!
Key Parts to Explore
Presynaptic Neuron
This is the special brain cell that sends out the message.
Postsynaptic Neuron
This is the brain cell that receives the message from the sender.
Synaptic Cleft
This is the tiny space between the sending and receiving brain cells.
Neurotransmitters
These are the tiny chemical messengers that carry information across the gap.
Did You Know?
Imagine tiny messengers in your brain sending over a trillion secret messages every second â that's synaptic transmission at work!
