Demonstration

Below is a diagram of a group of neurons. Neurons don’t touch each other directly. Instead, the axons of one neuron and the dendrites of another are separated by tiny synapses. Information travelling from one neuron to another always starts at a dendrite and continues along the cell body to the axon. It is at the end of the axon, called the axon terminal, where synaptic transmission begins.
