The gap between the two neurons is called synapse. At the synapse, the nerve impulse from one neuron gets transmitted to the other neuron. This takes place by the virtue of special neurotransmitters released by the axon terminal of a neuron. These neurotransmitters travel through the synapse to reach the dendrites of the adjacent neuron. The nerve impulses travel along with these neurotransmitters.
