What happens at the synapse between two neurons?

Transmission of nerve impulses between two neurons takes place at through the synapse which is the small empty space between two nerve cells. The axon terminal of a neuron releases specialized chemicals called neurotransmitters which travel through the synapse and reach the dendrites of the next neuron. The nerve impulses travel along with the neurotransmitters.Thus, information is transmitted from one nerve cell to other nerve cell by synapse
