Synaptic Transmission Process - Neuron Communication Explained #1760952 (License: Personal Use)

This educational illustration depicts synaptic transmission: (1) neurotransmitters are released into the synaptic cleft, (2) they bind to receptors on the postsynaptic membrane, (3) synaptic vesicles store and recycle neurotransmitters in the presynaptic neuron, and (4) excess neurotransmitters are either reabsorbed or broken down to terminate the signal. The image clarifies how neural signals propagate across synapses with precision and regulation.

Used in neuroscience education, medical textbooks, online learning modules, and health websites to explain how neurons communicate; matches user intent for understanding basic neurobiology, synaptic function, or preparing for exams.
