How do impulses pass from one neuron to another?

Impulses pass from one neuron to another through a process called synaptic transmission. When an electrical signal, or action potential, reaches the end of a neuron (the axon terminal), it triggers the release of neurotransmitters from vesicles into the synaptic cleft. These neurotransmitters then bind to receptors on the surface of the adjacent neuron, leading to a change in its membrane potential. If the change is sufficient, it can generate a new action potential in the receiving neuron, allowing the impulse to continue along the neural pathway.
