Within the nervous system, nerve impulses travel from neuron to neuron along complex nerve pathways. The junction between the parts of two such neurons is called a synapse. Actually, the neurons are not in direct contact at a synapse. There is a gap called a synaptic cleft between them. For an impulse to continue along a nerve pathway it must cross this gap.
