which became available only in the 1950s, turned out to be necessary to show the finer structure of the synapse with its separate, parallel pre- and postsynaptic membranes and processes, and the cleft between the two.

Types

Chemical and electrical synapses are two ways of synaptic transmission.
* In a chemical synapse, electrical activity in the presynaptic neuron is converted (via the activation of voltage-gated calcium channels)
