<P> Neurotransmitters are packaged into synaptic vesicles that cluster beneath the axon terminal membrane on the presynaptic side of a synapse . The axonal terminals are specialized to release the neurotransmitters of the presynaptic cell . The terminals release transmitter substances into a gap called the synaptic cleft between the terminals and the dendrites of the next neuron . The information is received by the dendrite receptors of the postsynaptic cell that are connected to it . Neurons do n't touch each other , but communicate across the synapse . </P>
