Närvisõlmevahelisest

Närvisõlmevahelisest refers to the space between nerve cells, also known as the synaptic cleft. This is a tiny gap across which nerve impulses are transmitted from one neuron to another. When an electrical signal reaches the end of a neuron, it triggers the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters then diffuse across the synaptic cleft and bind to receptors on the adjacent neuron, initiating a new electrical signal. This process is fundamental to all nervous system functions, from simple reflexes to complex cognitive processes. The precise size and chemical composition of the synaptic cleft are critical for efficient and accurate signal transmission. Disruptions in this space can lead to various neurological and psychiatric disorders. The study of the synaptic cleft and its associated mechanisms is a major area of neuroscience research, aiming to understand how the brain works and to develop treatments for neurological conditions.
