describes the process during which a signal, action potential or any other activity is transferred from one neuron to the next adjacent neuron or cell. Between two synapses, this process is facilitated by the diffusion of a neurotransmitter substance across the synaptic cleft then stimulates the action potential in the post-synaptic neuron.
NEUROTRANSMISSION: “The jumping between two synapses or two motor neurons is called the process of neurotransmission.”
